The Numbers Don't Lie-But You Might Be
Ever wonder why your business shows profit on paper but your bank account tells a different story? You're not alone. Most entrepreneurs are unknowingly sabotaging their financial clarity by paying themselves a laughably low salary-often around $30,000-while convincing themselves they're being fiscally responsible. This isn't modesty; it's a dangerous illusion that distorts every financial decision you make. Here's the uncomfortable truth: if you got hit by a bus tomorrow, what would your family need to pay someone to replace you? That's your real salary, not whatever arbitrary number helps you sleep at night. When you underpay yourself, you're not building a sustainable business-you're creating a house of cards that looks profitable until reality comes knocking. Think of your business as livestock. You can either nurture a cow that provides daily milk for years, or slaughter it for one feast. Most entrepreneurs unknowingly choose the barbecue by failing to pay themselves properly. When your market value is $100,000 but you're only drawing $30,000, you're accumulating what's called "sweat equity"-the unpaid value you're pouring into the business. Track this meticulously. This becomes especially critical with partnerships, where fairness doesn't mean equality. Every ship needs one captain, not a committee. If you have partners or investors, quantify everything upfront: market wages, responsibilities, and repayment expectations. The businesses that fail aren't usually killed by bad products-they're suffocated by financial self-deception. By paying yourself properly from the start, you'll know exactly what replacing yourself costs and can accurately assess whether you're building something valuable or just buying yourself an expensive job.
