Why You’re Still Not Making More Money
Tanya Fox
Podcast Episode 270
You’re not imagining it.
You’re working harder than ever - juggling clients, creating content, managing your inbox, and wearing every damn hat in your business.
So why…
💸 does your income still feel stuck?
⏰ is your time maxed out with little to show for it?
😤 are you constantly busy, but never actually ahead?
You’re doing everything “right.” But the money still doesn’t match the effort.
This is one of the most frustrating and common experiences for entrepreneurs.
In this episode of the podcast, I break down exactly why it happens… and what to do instead.
The Hard Truth: Hustle Doesn’t Automatically Equal Profit
Let’s be real: just because your schedule is full doesn’t mean your bank account is.
Busyness ≠ profitability.
In fact, many women build businesses that look successful on the outside but behind the scenes, they’re running on fumes. Often scared to admit it.
Here’s what I see all the time:
You’re booked… but most of your time-heavy offers are underpriced for what you are offering.
You’re constantly “visible”… but it’s not converting into conversations and even better, sales.
You’re delivering high-value results… but afraid to charge accordingly.
This isn’t a lack of effort.
It’s a lack of alignment between your time, pricing, and profit.
You Don’t Need More Strategy - You Need a Belief Reset
Most women know they need to raise their prices. But they often don’t believe people will pay them.
So what happens?
You overdeliver to try and justify your rates.
You discount to just get the deal closed. Even for unaligned “clients”.
You stay stuck in a cycle of “just one more client” to make ends meet.
Your income will never outpace your beliefs. EVER
Until you shift your internal ceiling around money, value, and worth - your business will stay stuck at the same level, no matter how hard you continue to work.
3 Reasons You’re Stuck at the Same Income Level
Let’s go deeper. These aren’t just business problems. They’re patterns. And if any of these sound familiar, it’s time to shake things up.
1. You’ve Built a Business That Can’t Scale
Your offers require too much 1:1 time.
Your pricing doesn’t reflect your energy.
You’re selling what worked 3 years ago, not what supports your life now.
2. You’re Addicted to Hustle, Not Profit
You’re equating hard work with growth.
But more effort isn’t the answer. It’s just what you’re used to.
3. You’re Making Decisions from Old Versions of You
You’re still operating from “startup mode,” even though your business, and life, have changed.
It’s time to upgrade your systems, pricing, and mindset to match the you you are now.
So What’s the Fix? It’s Not “Do More”—It’s “Do Less, Better”
This might sound radical, but it’s true:
Scaling often means subtracting, not adding.
Here’s where to start:
Cut the bottom 20% of tasks, offers, or clients that drain you.
Focus on the work that’s most profitable and most aligned.
Create a Minimum Money Map - what’s the simplest way to hit your income goals?
Simplifying your business gives you space to breathe, grow, and earn more without working more.
You’re Not Lazy. You’re Just Running a Business That Needs to Evolve.
If this blog has you nodding along, here’s what I want you to know:
You’re not behind.
You’re not doing it wrong.
You’ve just outgrown the business model that got you here.
Now it’s time to build the one that gets you to your next level - with more money, more time, and way less stress.
