Show Notes
This episode was recorded live at the Geronimo Sydney Summit in front of 150 studio owners.
Doza sat down with Danny - Geronimo's in-house finance coach and the man behind the Profit Coaching Academy- to deliver the keynote that had the room silent.
For the first time, we're sharing it with the full podcast audience.
This one isn't about revenue. It's about what you actually do with it.
Most studio owners are working harder than almost anyone they know. Revenue is growing. The business is getting stronger. But net worth is barely moving. That's not a hustle problem — that's an education and intention problem. This keynote fixes it.
Here's the number that should stick: get a million dollar studio to 30% profit — that's $300K. Investing just 12.8% of that ($3,200/month) over 40 years gets your family to $20 million. This episode shows you exactly how.
IN THIS EPISODE:
Why effort and income grow — but net worth stays flat
The 4 Capitals: Effort → Knowledge → Relationship → Financial
"You can be profitable and still retire broke"
