Connie breaks down the numbers, explains why this happens, and offers practical solutions to help you work smarter, not harder.

Do the Math: Learn how to calculate your real hourly income and uncover the reality of your take-home pay.

Takeaway:
Connie encourages listeners to calculate their hourly rate, identify where they’re undervaluing their work, and make changes that lead to financial freedom. Remember, you didn’t start your business to struggle—you deserve to thrive!
