You don’t need a fancy funnel or a 10-week launch runway to make quick, aligned cash in your business. Sometimes all it takes is a Google Form, a good idea, and a bold decision to just go.
In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a simple, scrappy in-person event my biz bestie Serena and I pulled off in under a week—and how it brought in over $6K (plus way more on the backend). No sales page. No big launch. Just bold action and a desire to connect.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
The $1,500 offer we rolled out in 24 hours
How we booked a boardroom and dinner with less than a week’s notice
What we actually spent—and what we profited
The “revenue stacking” inspo I borrowed from the queen herself, Ellen Yin
Real talk on what made this event work (and what we’d do differently next time)
How we’re turning this one-time idea into a rinse-and-repeat strategy
Why this might be the easiest way for YOU to generate quick cash with zero stress

Sometimes the most profitable moves aren’t months in the making… they’re made on a whim, with a whiteboard and a bold decision.
If you think you need a big launch, a fancy funnel, or an elaborate plan to generate quick cash in your business, I’m here to flip that belief on its head. This blog pulls back the curtain on one of the simplest and most effective revenue strategies I’ve ever implemented. And it all started with a conversation, a sticky note, and a trip to Scottsdale.
Because here’s the truth: at a certain level of business, the best strategy isn’t always more, it’s precision. And when you know your audience, your offer, and your magic, you don’t need long timelines. You need bold execution.
The Power of Revenue Stacking (and a Nudge from a Friend)
The whole idea started when I heard my friend Ellen Yin share about revenue stacking. Creating additional income opportunities while you’re already doing something else. That idea sparked something in me. I was already planning to attend an event in Scottsdale with my business bestie Serena. And within minutes of hearing Ellen’s podcast, I grabbed a marker and started mapping out a plan on the whiteboard in my trailer.
Instead of just going to someone else’s event, we decided to host our own. No fancy graphics. No complicated sales page. Just a vision and a quick Google Form. We launched a one-day boardroom experience + dinner for just a few women. It was intimate, powerful, and profitable. And honestly? It was fun. Scrappy in the best way. And a powerful reminder that money loves speed and alignment.
The Offer: A One-Day Boardroom Session + Dinner
Here’s what we mapped out:
Boardroom strategy session with space for 8 attendees at $1,500 each
Dinner-only option for 5 guests with a $50 refundable deposit
The goal? $12,000 in revenue with minimal lift. What we actually got was even better:
4 boardroom attendees
2 dinner guests (though 2 others no-showed)
$6,100 in revenue
$2,885 in expenses
$3,214 in profit, split between Serena and me
But the real ROI went far beyond the money. I had a client upgrade into a $5K offer. We deepened relationships. We created content. We increased visibility. And most importantly? We proved that a simple idea executed fast is often the most powerful play.
This wasn’t about trying to scale something massive, it was about stacking value, stacking connection, and stacking impact.
Why It Worked (and What Most Business Owners Miss)
This worked not because of a perfectly timed launch cycle, but because we moved quickly with intention.
We weren’t focused on packing a room. We were focused on the quality of the container. And the truth is, four high-level women at a table is more than enough to spark massive momentum, for them and for us.
Too many business owners wait for everything to be perfect before they launch. But perfection is a bottleneck. What we need is more clarity, more decisiveness, and more courage to move when the spark hits. This wasn’t just a cash play, it was a community play, a visibility play, and a strategy play.
We activated an audience, created results in real time, and built trust that can’t be faked online. That’s the real secret of high-converting offers: proximity and energy.
Behind the Scenes: Our Actual Expense Breakdown
Want to know what it really cost to host?
Breakfast + lunch catering: $262
Snacks + gifts (Target run): $363
Airbnb: $975 (already booked, so the event was stacked on top)
Drinks + wine: small investment, high vibe
Dinner at House of Brayer: $975
Payment processing + no-show refunds: ~$310
That’s it. No team travel costs. No venue rental headaches. Just a well-curated environment and strategic positioning. We didn’t overcomplicate the event and that was the point. The simplicity was part of the magic.
What Made This Worth It (Besides the Cash)
Sure, we made over $3K in profit. But let’s talk about what else we walked away with:
Deeper trust with our audience—people flew in with a week’s notice
New premium client upgrade (a $5K bump without pitching)
Live content from the event we’re still repurposing
Proof of concept that we can run this again (and again)
A clear model to replicate on my cross-country trailer trip this summer
You can't measure the value of these intangibles, but they absolutely move the needle. When you run a high-integrity business, moments like these compound. What starts as a one-day event turns into a new client, new audience growth, new ideas, and new demand.
How to Create Your Own Low-Lift Cash Infusion
If you’ve been looking for a fast way to generate intentional income, this model works.
Here’s how to do it:
Start with what’s already on your calendar. Are you traveling, speaking, attending a mastermind? Stack an offer on top.
Use tools you already know. We built this using a Google Form and a shared iPhone note.
Be extremely clear on the transformation. This was a strategy day—not a presentation. We tailored it to each person.
Upsell organically. One attendee upgraded without us even pitching. When you show up in real life, trust builds fast.
Capture the energy. We created content, shared wins in real time, and invited our audience into the experience.
I can’t stress this enough: it doesn’t have to be a full production to make real money. It just has to be clear, useful, and easy to say yes to. And here’s a bonus tip: Make the decision easy. We had no complex application or booking system, just a form and a conversation. Simplicity creates speed.
What We’ll Do Differently Next Time (Because You Know There’ll Be a Next Time)
I’m already planning to host more of these strategy dinners while I travel this summer. (Want me to come to your city? DM me @magneticprofits!)
Next round, we’ll:
Give more than one week’s notice (😅)
Raise the price point to $2K+
Keep it capped at 4 for intimacy
Potentially add sponsorships to offset expenses
Stick with the no-fluff Google Form approach
And honestly? I don’t want this to become a big, bloated offer. The scrappiness is part of the power. It allows us to move fast and keep it feeling fresh. What made this powerful wasn’t just the strategy; it was the speed, the simplicity, and the soul behind it.
Simplicity Scales
If you’re sitting on a whiteboard full of ideas, wondering how to bring in cash quickly without the chaos of a full launch… I want this to be your permission slip. It doesn’t have to be big to be brilliant. It doesn’t have to be perfect to be profitable. You can generate $3K+ in a week, build trust with your audience, attract new premium clients, and expand your brand visibility… all from a scrappy idea you implement in real time.
Sometimes, the biggest breakthroughs come from the simplest moves. Let this be a reminder: you don’t need to overcomplicate it. You just need to move. Start with what you already know. Use what you already have. Trust the value you already bring.
You’re one decision away from clarity, cash, and connection. Now go grab a marker. You’ve got a whiteboard moment waiting to happen.
