Challenge #9 – Put Yourself on a Salary

StoryBrand.ai
About this episode

Many business owners treat their business finances like their own personal bank account. They think they’re being frugal by only taking what they “need” – but it’s actually a sloppy way to manage both business and personal finances. 

 

It’s Day 9 of the Double Your Revenue Challenge, and in today’s episode, Donald Miller challenges you to put yourself on a consistent salary. Just like you’d pay an employee or contractor a fixed rate, Don recommends treating yourself the same way. Determine the amount of money you’re going to pay yourself – and then live within those means! The result? Better financial discipline, enough money to pay business taxes and expenses, and more motivation to increase overall revenue. Tune in now!
