Belief, Faith, & Frequency

I remember when I generated over $10,000 in sales revenue for the first time. It was the summer of 2025… July to be exact. I was in the exciting infant stages of creating the concepts and framework for my brand and business.

At the time, all I had fleshed out in my ecosystem was the remote sales department of my insurance agency as a back office operation.

I launched my first batch of media and instantly began receiving clients. Within a week, I did around $3,000 in sales. At the end of 4 weeks I totaled $14,752.86 in gross sales revenue. It felt amazing.

This milestone probably mattered the most because psychologically I unlocked something POWERFUL. Something changed in my brain chemistry. I haven't been the same Jonathan since.

I achieved a few things:

1. Proof of concept

   
   

2. Borderless income

   
   

3. A mental breakthrough of my financial capacity and earning potential

Wealth starts in the mind FIRST.

This moment marked a key shift in both confidence and momentum. A few months later I had my first $20k month and in December 2025 I generated $26,808.40 to close out the year, my best month to date.

What I want to highlight here is BELIEF.

Prior to this milestone never in my life had I made this amount of money in such a short amount of time. Ever. But also during this time, I was focused like never before. Kobe level, seriously.

Before I made $10,000 I made a plan on how to achieve this, and then reverse engineered the steps. This alone made my belief in accomplishing my goal 20x stronger because I saw on paper how EASY it was to do!

Then I matched my belief by taking action. My actions then corresponded with the frequency of my desires, so it attracted towards me. There was literally no way on God's green earth that I was going to fail.

If you don't believe you deserve to be rich then you won't. Simple.

If you do believe that you deserve to be rich, and follow all of the steps of The Rich Recipe then, you will. It's inevitable.
