How to Turn Your $10K Goal Into a Simple Math Problem (Not a Mystery)
Stop Chasing Followers and Start Chasing Revenue
Most people running an online business are flying blind.
They’ll say things like, “I just want to make $10K a month,” but when you ask how, they freeze.
They’ve got half-finished funnels, a few random offers, a growing list that never hears from them, and a notepad full of dreams disguised as “goals.”
But no real plan.
If you want predictable income, your business has to become a math problem.
Not a mystery.
Not a mood board.
A math problem.
Start with the end number
Let’s say your goal is to make $10K per month.
That’s the destination.
Now, what’s your main vehicle?
Maybe it’s a $1,000 coaching package.
Maybe it’s a $100/month membership.
Maybe it’s a $10 digital product or PDF.
Here’s what the math says:
$10K goal → $1,000 offer = 10 clients
$10K goal → $100 offer = 100 subscribers
$10K goal → $10 product = 1,000 buyers
That’s it. Simple math.
Already, things get clearer.
You don’t need “more followers.”
You need a clear offer and a clear number.
Work backwards from there
Here’s where it gets practical.
Let’s take that $1,000 offer example. You want 10 clients per month.
Let’s say your close rate on sales calls is 50%.
That means you need about 20 calls to hit your goal.
And if roughly 1 in 20 of your leads ends up booking a call (a 5% call-booking rate), you’ll need 400 leads to feed that pipeline each month.
So now you’ve got a simple, measurable roadmap:
400 leads → 20 calls → 10 clients = $10K/month
Once you see the numbers, your focus shifts.
You stop asking “What should I post?” and start asking “How do I consistently get 400 leads each month?”
Or, “How could I improve my lead-to-call rate so I only need 250 leads?”
Or even, “What if I raise my price to $2K and only need 5 clients?”
That’s the kind of thinking that builds predictable systems instead of constant hustle.
Everything becomes an input problem
Once you treat your business like a math problem, everything clarifies.
You stop chasing random outcomes like virality or “building an audience” for its own sake.
Instead, every decision comes back to inputs.
How many people visit your opt-in page?
How many convert to a lead?
How many book a call?
How many buy?
If your opt-in page converts at 25%, your consultation booking rate is 5%, and you close 50% of calls, you can predict revenue before you ever open your inbox.
Why this works
Because emotion lies.
Math doesn’t.
Most entrepreneurs are emotional decision-makers.
We post more when they feel inspired, change offers when sales dip, or lower prices when we panic.
Then we wonder why our business feels like a slot machine.
When you start measuring the right numbers, you can make decisions rooted in reality.
You might realize you don’t need another offer, you just need to improve your conversion rate.
You might discover your price point is too low for your income goal.
Or that you don’t actually need a huge audience to hit your target.
Often, when people do this math, they realize something liberating:
They don’t need to be nearly as big, popular, or “everywhere” as they thought.
That $10K/month goal might only require a few hundred engaged leads, not tens of thousands of followers.
Instead of chasing everything, you start to focus on the few things that actually move your number.
The business clarity exercise
If you want to try this right now, grab a notepad.
Write your monthly revenue goal.
(Be specific. “$8K/month” is better than “make more.”)Divide that by your main product or service price.
That’s how many sales you need per month.Estimate your conversion rate.
If you close 60% of calls, divide by 0.6 to find how many calls you need.Estimate your call-booking rate.
If 5% of leads book a call, multiply your call target by 20.
That’s your monthly lead goal.
Now you know your real target: generate X qualified leads each month.
Everything else—your content, ads, partnerships, automations—should exist to support that number.
When you see it like this
It’s kind of freeing.
Because once you know the math, your business stops feeling like guesswork.
You can see which lever to pull.
You can adjust pricing with purpose.
You can actually tell if what you’re doing is working.
It’s not stripping the creativity out of what you do.
It’s giving your business structure so the things you care about (freedom, time, consistency) stop getting buried under chaos.
I’m launching something soon to help you turn all this theory into a working system that brings clients and cash in consistently. If you want to see how it works before I open it up publicly, reply or shoot me a message.



I really liked the way you broke this down, my man. Makes it feel so much easier to achieve!
