We scrap the “non-profit” label, set a $4,000/month client target in 6 months, and map revenue paths: paid shoots (zoos/NGOs/brands), print sales, a photo book, and gear sponsorships.Philip Gidding — Electrician launching a pie-and-mash shop with a pay-it-forward model. We design a zero-budget launch: niche first (serve trades), film taste-test reactions at wholesalers, partner for in-store sampling, and use content to drive preorders.Allegra Melloul, @a1legra — Paris-based creative torn between film, teaching, and service. We focus the mission: make the Divine Comedy film trilogy in Italy, fund impact work (orphans) via profit, and keep a small content-services roster for runway.Janine Hanlon,  @janinehanlonlivingwell — Building affordable women’s wellness retreats. We kill limiting beliefs, expand beyond IG to TikTok/YouTube, and execute a revenue-share weekend pilot with an existing venue, then use profits to underwrite free places.Follow Simon Says on Spotify and subscribe on YouTube.Your support helps us fix the education system, teach people business, and give knowledge away for free
