# Money Model
Money Model is the structure that explains how a [[Business]] captures, keeps, reinvests, and compounds value.
## Meaning
In the [[Hormozi Meaning Guide]], a money model includes more than revenue.
It includes [[Pricing]], gross profit, customer acquisition cost, payback period, attraction offers, upsells, downsells, continuity, and the connection between [[Offer]] and [[Lead]] economics.
For Joe's Mynd, a money model should support [[Financial Well-being]], [[Occupational Well-being]], and mission-aligned action.
## Source Of Meaning
This note is grounded in the Acquisition.com $100M Money Models Course, the $100M book system, and [[Hormozi Meaning Guide]].
## Relationship Over Time
This note should mature when Joe maps one real business model and names the current constraint.

## Tensions
Money models can make a business sustainable. They can also hide human cost if profit is tracked more carefully than delivery, consent, and well-being.
## Question
How does this business make money, keep enough of it, and reinvest it without violating the meaning of the work?
