The carrot

What the money can look like.

A realistic six-month shape, not a promise. The point is to show you the path is real and it compounds, because it's recurring. Month 6 isn't a finish line, it's where you're standing when the first six months are up.

The six-month ramp

Small one-off jobs first, a free one or two for testimonials, then your first retainer, then it stacks. Your all-in clock starts when you land in Ireland.

Month	Recurring clients	What's happening	One-off / setup	Recurring billed/mo	In your pocket
M1	0 +1 free	All-in. Outreach reps. A couple of small setups + 1 free job for the testimonial.	~$400	$0	~$350
M2	1	First retainer lands (small). Still taking one-offs for cash while you build.	~$500	~$300	~$600
M3	2	You stop chasing one-off gigs and go all-in on recurring sign-ups. One.ie chatbot live, first chatbot sale + 2nd retainer. One-off cash now = setup fees on new clients.	~$400	~$800	~$850
M4	3	3rd client, and existing ones upsold to packages.	~$200	~$1,400	~$1,050
M5	3	Clients moving onto the bigger packages. Recurring now carries you.	~$100	~$2,500	~$1,700
M6	3	3 solid retainers around $1,000/mo each.	~$100	~$3,000	~$2,100

How the money works (and it all reconciles):
In your pocket = your one-off / setup cash (100% yours) + 75% of the recurring (we take ~25% of the recurring only, for the product, support and warm start) minus tools (~$50 early, up to ~$250 once you're running GHL + hosting).

Worked example, month 4: you bill 3 clients ~$1,400/mo + ~$200 in setup fees. We take 25% of the $1,400 = $350. Tools ~$200. The rest is yours: ~$1,050.

The shift to watch: one-off cash fades on purpose after month 2. You stop trading hours for one-off gigs and let the recurring stack. Month 1's real win is the reps, not the cash.

Where month 6 could land, three ways

Same as we do for any plan: a floor, a target, and a stretch. Pick your effort, the numbers follow.

Very conservative (the floor)

~$700/mo in your pocket · ~$1,200 billed · 1-2 clients

Slow start, you only land a couple of clients in six months. Still real, still recurring, still beats zero, and it rolls into month 7.

Optimistic (the plan)

~$2,000/mo in your pocket · ~$3,000 billed · 3 clients

You hit the daily reps and land roughly one client every six weeks from month 2. This is the plan working as designed.

Very optimistic (the stretch)

~$4,150/mo in your pocket · ~$6,000 billed · 5-6 clients

You grind, the chatbot upsells land, and a couple of clients go onto the Autopilot package. This is on the table if you go all-in and stay consistent.

Billed = what your clients pay you. In your pocket = your one-off cash + 75% of recurring, minus tools. The share is on the recurring only, off the top, so we only win when you win.

The real prize: retention

One client you keep on a $1,000/mo package for a year is $12,000 billed, about $9,000 in your pocket after our share. Keep three and that's a ~$27,000/year recurring base, before you've counted a single new client for year two. The monthly number looks small. The asset you're building is not.

Why this is different from everything before

It compounds. Recurring means you're not restarting the clock every month. Every client you keep is in month 7 before you send a single new video.
The floor is real. Even the conservative row is actual money coming in monthly, from a skill that keeps getting more valuable.
You control the only variable that matters. The reps. No reps, no ramp. Do the reps and the numbers above are just maths.

To be straight: these are a realistic shape, not a guarantee. But there is nothing exotic here. Three clients at a grand a month is a small, ordinary outcome in this game. The carrot is real, and it's closer than it feels.
