Revenue came from the Simply Profitable Designer Summit ticket sales ($9,371), Next Level Mastermind renewals, private coaching, and Web Designer Academy payment plans. Total outflow was approximately $21,583. The bigger story? March was also the month of the 10th annual Simply Profitable Designer Summit (20 speakers, conversion design theme), a new lead magnet launch, a new TikTok account, and the launch of the Pricing Mindset Makeover podcast. Shannon unpacks the pattern she falls into every summit season: expecting immediate Web Designer Academy enrollments from an event that's designed to plant seeds for months to come. She and Erica talk through getting neutral about your numbers, the difference between persistence and powering through, and why you cannot navigate business wobbles alone.
