How much I made in 2025 — and why I’m okay with losing money🤑🤐

I wanted to share this not as a highlight reel, but as an honest look at what it actually looks like to build a multi-hyphenate career.

In 2025, my income came from three places:
- My full-time role as a B2B marketing leader
- Brand partnerships as a content creator
- The Marketing Groupe — a community I’m intentionally building long-term

Some months were strong.

Some months were slow.

And a few months, I lost money investing in events, experiences, and learning how to run a real business.

But none of it felt like failure.

Those “losses” taught me how to price better, plan smarter, negotiate partnerships, and think like a founder — not just a creator or employee. They also helped me build credibility, relationships, and momentum that won’t show up in a single month’s numbers.

If there’s one thing I learned this year, it’s that not all income is immediate — and not all growth shows up on a spreadsheet.

Sharing this for anyone who’s:
- Building something alongside a full-time job
- Navigating inconsistent creator income
- Or investing in a long-term vision that hasn’t fully paid off yet

2026 is about refinement, sustainability, and finally turning these lessons into profit.

Follow along to see how it unfolds 🤍
