    Ep 212. How to Pay Yourself as a Business Owner

    Erica shares why consistently paying yourself is critical and how she learned this after years of stopping and starting her own pay while always prioritizing employee payroll. She explains the stress and confidence issues caused by inconsistent owner pay, and how advice from Charles Nelson at LCR Summit pushed her to set a non-negotiable paycheck. Erica describes the difference between owner's draws and being on payroll as an S-corp employee, the importance of separating business and personal banking and setting aside money for taxes, and how underpricing and unnecessary expenses can prevent both owner pay and proper staffing. She notes her current routine of paying herself $1,250 base pay per week (paid every two weeks) and working toward building at least three months of savings while still covering payroll and marketing.
