Quarter 1 Review
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.)!
It all started with maternity leave…
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.

Web Design Business in 2026: What 8 Years Taught Me
The State of Web Design in 2026 (Real Talk) Okay, real talk. Last year was weird for a lot of web designers. And not just the newbies who are still figuring things out. I’m talking about designers who have been doing this since 2017 and 2018. Established. Experienced. Still felt it. I’ve been running Rebekah…
Hey, I'm Bekah! Web designer, Squarespace Circle Gold Partner, marathon runner, and mama of two. I built Rebekah Read Creative in 2018 after leaving corporate America, and I've spent the years since helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs stop cringing at their websites and start getting found on Google.
I'm the kind of person who overshares, processes out loud, and goes all in on whatever has my heart, whether that's running a 50k or building someone's website in a single day. Quality coffee and real conversations are basically my love language.
If you're here, you're probably tired of the Instagram hustle and ready for a website that actually works for you. You're in the right place.
