Design Wealth, Don’t Chase It: The Rhythm Behind Profit Planning
When income grows but wealth remains stagnant, it’s not always a revenue problem—it’s often a rhythm problem.
In this episode of the Harmonious Wealth podcast, Iyanna Vaughn walks through the final step of the Overflow Method™: Wealth Flow Design. This isn’t about working harder. It’s about aligning stewardship with strategy and designing a system that allows your business to fund your life, your giving, and your generational legacy.
At Lovely Financials Group, we call Wealth Flow Design the art of structuring your financial ecosystem to ensure your business isn’t just making money—it’s keeping and multiplying it. This step involves creating a strategic annual profit plan, grounded in biblical stewardship and CEO-level forecasting.
You don’t need to chase more clients or throw another offer together. You need clarity on how much you really need to take home—and how your current structure supports or hinders that.
Key Insight:Revenue helps, but profit builds wealth. Stewarded profit sustains it.
Four Roles on the Path to Financial Freedom
Inspired by Robert Kiyosaki’s Cash Flow Quadrant, Iyanna outlines the four ways your business journey reflects your ability to build wealth:
Employee – You trade hours for dollars.
Self-Employed – You own the business, but you’re still the main engine.
Business Owner – You delegate and build systems that run without you.
Investor – You use profit to build wealth outside the business.
Where do you currently fall? And what systems would help you transition?
The Profit Plan in Action
At the heart of this episode is a deep dive into what our clients experience in the Financial Strategy Experience: a comprehensive profit plan tailored to their goals.
Here’s a quick overview of what that includes:
CEO Salary Clarity: Using our free calculator, we reverse-engineer your salary based on fixed and flexible living expenses, then map your business revenue to support that.
The Keep Half Diagnostic: Our proprietary tool analyzes six months of financials to determine what percentage of your revenue you’re actually keeping.
Revenue & Launch Modeling: We forecast your annual revenue by offer, season, and launch rhythm to ensure cash flow supports operations, team, and taxes.
Cash Flow Mapping: We use an adapted version of Profit First to guide allocation toward taxes, owner’s pay, profit, team, and operating expenses.
Reflection Exercise: Your Personal Profit Map
Take 15 minutes to complete this reflection:
What is your current take-home pay as a CEO?
What would it actually cost to live comfortably while tithing, saving, and investing?
Are your current offers priced and structured to support that number?
Use the CEO Salary Calculator to plug in your real numbers and begin visualizing what it would take to pay yourself consistently.
Bold takeaway:If your business isn’t designed to pay you well and build wealth, it’s time for a new plan—not a new product.
