Episode Details

It’s hard to believe we’ve made it to episode 100 of the Bread Winner Podcast. What a journey it's been—over a year of showing up weekly to help you build a thriving sourdough microbakery that supports your life, your family, and your financial goals. I’m so thankful you’re here. In today’s episode, we’re diving into Part 2 of the strategy to pay yourself $1,000 per month from your bakery. This is a simple, scalable formula that works whether you’re just getting started or looking to grow toward a full-time income. If you missed Part 1 in episode 98, you’ll want to go back and listen to that one first—we laid the foundation by walking through product costs and pricing for profit.

Now we’re moving into the practical and strategic steps to reverse-engineer your revenue goal. We’ll look at how to break your monthly target into weekly goals, map out your product mix, and use systems (like my profit and pricing calculator) to take the guesswork out of your numbers. I’ll also share how I plan for my own market weeks, how to use pricing data to create more freedom in your schedule, and how to ensure you’re not just baking more—but baking smarter. This strategy has been a game changer for me and so many others in the Bread Winner Inner Circle, and I can’t wait to see what it unlocks for you.
