PROFIT LEVERS — HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR POSITION
REVENUE DRIVERS
LACMA grant ($50K) — biggest single lever; submit before deadline
IP licensing for Deer-001 concept — royalties add passive income w/ no FICA
Artist workshops / speaking — $1K–$5K per event, low overhead
Stack multiple public art contracts — each new project compounds revenue
Print / merch licensing — leverage existing artwork, near-zero cost
COST CUTS & SAVINGS

Audit software subscriptions — cancel unused tools now

Pay back-payments at M1 — eliminates interest risk, clears mind
Tax reserve account — auto-transfer 35% each invoice to avoid Q4 shock

Rhino 3D license ($995) — immediate ROI via faster fabrication drawings
Equipment fund — Section 179 deduction lets you write off 100% in year 1
