There is one employee who is routinely paid last and least in a growing small business. The owner. If this is you, know that you’re not alone. • 51% of business owners will forego a paycheck for multiple months to control cash flow in their business and • Nearly half of American business owners pay themselves less than $100,000 annually. The challenge…Net Profit does not equal Cash Flow. When you forgo paying yourself regularly and competitively 🚩The financial stress impacts your ability to make sound business decisions 🚩You haven’t built a long-term sustainable business model 🚩You’ll routinely experience “payroll panic” when paying your staff 🚩You’ll try to “grow yourself” into profit and out of debt, which can ultimately end up having the opposite effect Why does this happen to so many small business owners? 1. Lack of Numbers Clarity and Confidence: Your accountant or bookkeeper just handles the numbers, but you’re in the dark about what the numbers actually mean when it comes to making smart business decisions. 2. Bookkeeping Delays: Lack of efficient systems means your reports are a mess, arriving long after they're useful. 3. Cash Flow Missteps: You don’t have a clear plan to maximize accounts receivable, so you keep relying on loans and credit lines as cash band-aids. 4. Unsettled Debts: These are weighing your business down instead of serving as a growth propeller. 5. Hiring & Investment Hurdles: You don’t have a clear indicator for when to hire or make investments to grow your business profitably. You don't have to be a CFO or accountant to know your numbers.
