Obviously either my maths or my facts are wrong here because I'm being killed with the downvotes.

Explain where I went wrong please?



High 6 figures is $800k/year. Most consultants who aren't published authors have trouble getting to $200k.

Maybe you can back up your statement with some numbers?


$200k is good money for your normal $100-$150/hour programmer/consultant.

The trick is additional sources that aren't as closely linked to your hours.

Some possibilities include flat-fee security audits/seo consultations, fee-per-person training, retainers for support etc etc.
