If you head over to Pinterest and type in “entrepreneur income report” you are inundated with “$12,000/ month!”, “November I made $140,000”, I’m here to give you a more relatable income report.
*PLEASE NOTE* if you’re not “here” yet, THAT’S OKAY! This took me 4 years of building my business, honing my skills, and creating passive income sources to get to this monthly revenue. You’re doing a GREAT JOB right where you’re at!
Quarter 1 was my most successful quarter yet! (And it has nothing to do with money)
If you are wanting to make money online, but also have BALANCE in your business, I think you’ll like this blog.
Check out my Q1 income report with stats below (including my expenses because there is nothing more frustrating than seeing “I made a 10k month” but then realizing they spent 8k in Facebook ads, outsourcing, etc.)!
My 3 month maternity leave ended up extending into January due to a necessary c-section and recovery, so this income report is really just 2 months.
I’ve always been hesitant to do one of these quarter reports/ small business finance reports, because I never want someone to compare where they are at to where I am, but I also know the benefit of getting a peek into someone’s business so here it is:
January | February | March |
Total income = $2,520.33 | Total income = $7,876.25 | Total income = $4,844.00 |
Total Expenses = $655.95 | Total Expenses = $124.87 | Total Expenses = $143.24 |
My goal is to make about $2,500 a month and was surprised and elated to surpass that every month. I was able to focus 95% of my time on my daughter by having website in a day be my main service and trying to get 2 a month. Of course I work more than just 2 days a month (hello Instagram and maintaining my business), but I truly felt I had a great balance and am so happy I could be there for all the little milestones of my daughter’s first 6 months.
So what are the plans for Rebekah Read Creative in Quarter 2? Maintain!

Wow this year was a bit of a rollercoaster. I started the year excited to have my kids in daycare a few days a week and ready to invest (money & time) into my main signature course to make it more profitable… After devoting 200+ hours to that I had some of my lowest months…

I’ve got messy hair and a thirsty heart.
I overshare my life, and have an ultra-expressive personality. Some words people use to describe me are: helpful, real, fun, creative, authentic, and kind.
Elphaba from Wicked is kind of my alter-ego as I am always trying to forge my own path and make a difference in the World, somehow, someway, while also constantly criticizing myself and trying to become the better version of me.
Quality conversations + coffee come easy to me.
I’ve never had an issue connecting naturally with others (probs because I can go on and on about my life story, not that it is interesting, I just process externally, anyone else?!)
