We are NOT ok!
Jelly Roll said it best
“I am not ok, barely getting by”
“I’m losing track of days”
“Losing sleep at night”
His words hit a lot deeper than financial problems but I can’t help but think about how it applies in our economy.
Our clients are talented high 7-figure earners looking for peace, balance, and fulfillment.
At this earning level, some professionals feel they aren’t allowed to not be “ok”.
But, why not?
We are all human and all deal with the highs and lows of the human experience.
We forget that no matter what a person’s bank account looks like, they still live with a host of issues that cause heartbreak and disappointment.
The fact is, even when it comes to running a successful business, sometimes, we are just not ok. Why?
Research reveals the top 3 reasons high earners in particular are losing sleep at night in today’s economy.
𝟏. 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫
With eggs costing nearly $7.00 in some areas, we realize the cost of food is weighing us down. Not to mention the many other costs that high-end business owners have to deal with including personal and professional payroll.
𝟐. 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐓𝐚𝐱 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧
High-income earners enter a space where paying a disproportionate share of taxes is common. Without planning ahead for this, the impact on take-home pay is devastating, frustrating and greatly contributes to stress.
𝟑. 𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤-𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞
A larger percentage of high-earners work long hours, sacrificing personal and family time. While their income may grow, their quality of life often declines. This is a recipe for broken families, burnout, and very low fulfillment
So yeah—we’re not okay.
But here’s the good news: we can turn it around.
With a few strategic adjustments—in spending, tax planning, and work-life alignment—you can regain control, reignite your joy, and find balance faster than you might think.
