Inconsistent income? The Restructuring Guide
For when you're good at what you do, but money is feast or famine (or mostly just famine).
Before we dive in… What are you most interested in transforming in your spiritual journey and everyday life?
Okay let’s dive into this week’s Restructuring Guide. We’re going to build, week after week, restructuring the situations you most want transformed.
Be sure to vote above so I know what to focus on next after income and financial stability!
The situation.
You’ve got skills. People value your work. You’re good at what you do.
Yet, income is inconsistent. Maybe there are good months, but you can’t count on them. Often there are dry months.
Always, there is stress and uncertainty.
This is not a situation where you lack income because you lack expertise. In this case, you are competent. But your income doesn’t reflect that.
Sound familiar? Then this guide is for you.
New to Restructuring?
This is also called Authoring. Check out these guides for a quick primer:
Money challenges overall can have a wide variety of possible underlying structures contributing to the situation. This guide addresses the specific challenge where, despite your competency, income is volatile or inconsistent.
We will build from here each week to address fear of visibility, worth, and other common factors that impact income stability.
The goal.
Stability. Not sudden wealth or shock-and-awe windfall. Steady baseline income you can count on, so your nervous system can drop out of vigilance and you have space to breathe.
Can changing a structure you barely understand create real, meaningful change in your finances?
It can. Let me show you how this can start to look…
I restructured my own architecture around income stability, visibility and resonance over the last 30 days.
Here is a look behind the scenes at what happened:
A glimpse at the overall trajectory.
These graphs show how many people subscribed to my publication on a given day, over the last 90 days.
You can see that for months, even though I was posting somewhat regularly, I hovered at just around 5 new subscribers a day.
Over the last 30 days, once I started restructuring my income stability and visibility, it has skyrocketed.
Yes, I’m showing you subscribers. Not income.
This is because today’s restructuring is about establishing consistent BASELINE. I can’t create a stable, consistent baseline income without having a steady stream of new subscribers.
This is where I would expect to see immediate movement first.
For your financial situation, ask yourself: What is the one thing that needs to be true for you, to lay the foundation for consistent, stable income? It might be:
A raise at your job
Stability in income, new contracts, or team compositions, for the company you work for (I.e no fear of getting laid off)
A steady stream of new leads
A referral system that invites your previous clients or customers to refer you new business
Something else?
That element, what we call a ‘metric’ in business, is what you want to track first to notice if today’s restructuring (provided at the end of this guide) is starting to land for you over the coming days.
It’ll likely show up there BEFORE it shows up in your bank account.
Day 01.
I started actively posting and engaging my audience again around Feb 1st, 2026. After 11 days of activity, I was still seeing under 10 new subscribers a day.
This was also what I experienced during my entire first four active months on Substack last year. No matter what I did or didn’t do, the numbers didn’t budge.
I knew if I wanted to reach my goal of a consistent baseline income (for my business model), I would need a minimum of 30 new subscribers a day.
This is based on industry standard conversions from new subscriber → engaged (opening and clicking emails) → committed (working with me 1:1 or premium member).
At this point, on Feb 11, I authored my first structural reorganization. The very same one you’ll get at the end of this guide.
Day 05.
By Feb 15, just four days later, my daily subscribers more than doubled.
None came from my notes or posts. None from outside sources. I didn’t change anything else. I didn’t run ads. You can see they’re all from Substack.
That means the platform’s algorithm just up and decided to recommend me to new users, even though my posts and notes (the usual signals it looks for) were getting barely any engagement at that point.
The only thing I did was author new structures.
But here… it keeps gets better…
On feb 15, I authored again.
Day 11
Notice how my numbers fluctuate for a week after that second authoring? That’s the restructuring in action.
During that time, I did not author anything more. I gave it a week to stabilize. When I saw the trend steadily climbing again, on Feb 21st I authored another related structure.
As you can see, day of, numbers went down a bit as my structures influencing the algorithm reorganized (and their signal diffused temporarily as a result).
Then, the next day, on Feb 22nd, they reached a new height. 34 new subscribers that day.
Again, I let it rest for about a week, and again you see my numbers fluctuate during stabilization…
Day 21
I saw that upward trend stabilize around Mar 2-3. So I assessed remaining related structures and authored again on the 3rd.
This time, it continued to increase to a new pinnacle on Mar 4. Then, as expected, it dipped down and fluctuated for a few days as everything reorganized.
Then, a steady, meteoric climb.
We’ll focus on architecting this sort of increase in growth and income for all Premium Members over the next several weeks, structure by structure.
Day 30
Now, at the time of this writing, I’m nearing 100 new subscribers. Every. single. day.
That little dip after the 11th, we again see reorganization happening, with a dip down to 70 subscribers that day.
Today, Mar 13th, it’s 3:35pm and I’m presently at — wow — exactly 80 subscribers so far for today.
I’m curious just how far this may continue to rise. I’ll keep you posted!
What this means for you.
Here’s what I want you to see in this — because it’s not what most people think.
This is causality, not magic.
I didn’t suddenly get a flood of sales. I didn’t wake up with a full client roster.
What shifted first wasn’t my income. It was the single thing for my business model that is necessary for consistent income.
Oftentimes you can miss what’s reorganizing if you’re looking for the wrong signs. Also…
This requires space to land. You can’t just keep pushing for the finish line.
You saw the pattern.
Author → volatility during restructuring → stabilized rise → author again.
Not a straight line up. A series of reorganizations, each one landing and integrating before the next one moves.
This is not a promise. This is a trend.
I will never hype you. I’m honestly dazzled myself at how my growth is exploding.
But I wanted to show you this because the payoff isn’t to do a single situation restructuring every now and again.
You also can’t just pack them in over a weekend when you think of it.
If you can approach reality structuring as a simple way of life, consistently rewriting your situation, week by week, one structure at a time…
You can see above the meteoric difference it can start to make in your life.
I’ll keep you on point by assessing the membership field to determine the structures you need to author together, week after week, to move the dial on the things that matter most for you, starting here with income.
In the meantime, do you have any questions about what you’re seeing here? Or about what’s to come?

The guide.
This guide helps you first identify if this structure matches your experience. Then, if it does, I walk you through how to restructure it for more consistent, dependable income flow.
The structural picture.
Do you experience one or more of the following in your financial life?
Income that rises and falls in waves regardless of how hard you work
Good months that feel like luck... dry months that feel like failure or inevitable circumstance
You’re stressed + you over-work even during good months, in preparation for the bad ones
Feeling like you’re always either scrambling or collapsing — never just... steady
You’re doing all the right things, getting good feedback, yet income doesn’t reflect that
You have a steady 9-5 job, but the volatility shows up in expected bonuses vaporating… or uncertainty in whether you’ll get laid off or let go unexpectedly
You try to maintain stable income, but your partner, child, or spouse experiences volatility (this can show up where the person had stability until they joined you, then suddenly their income destabilizes — their structures meet your structures)
A persistent gap between your competence and your financial reality
The sense that financial stability is something other people have, but it’s just not in the cards for you
If so, then this structure is likely operating in your architecture.
