PAY YOURSELF FIRST. 🙊
.⁠
Such good advice that often goes ignored. We think we are paying ourselves first when we take care of the pressing debt that mounts or the "emergency" we need to manage.⁠
.⁠
And that's how we end up paycheck to paycheck. EVEN when we own our own business.⁠
.⁠
PRO-FIT TIP: If you actually want to reap the benefits of all your hard work, have a predetermined percentage of your revenue that goes toward all the necessary categories:⁠
.⁠
- Profit⁠
- Taxes⁠
- Expenses⁠
- Owner's Pay⁠
- Anything else you need to factor in!⁠
.⁠
When you know the maximum a category should be, you're much more likely to stay within budget. Especially if you distribute your cash flow accordingly!⁠
.⁠
(Psst! This works for your personal finances too! You don't have to be a business owner to take your money seriously.)⁠
.⁠
This is why we love quickbooks in my businesses. Their Quickbooks Cash Bank Account helps us allocate revenue in all the right places, which we do with the Envelopes feature.⁠ Don't rely on arbitrary spreadsheets. Have the right tools working for you so you don't have to sweat the dollars and cents.⁠
