  1. How Much Should You Pay Yourself as a Business Owner?

    2D AGO

    How Much Should You Pay Yourself as a Business Owner?

    How much can you pay yourself in your small business? The answer isn't a guess, it starts with knowing your numbers. Too many business owners pull money out daily for food, gas, or personal expenses without realizing they're already paying themselves… just without a plan. If your pricing doesn't include your labor hours, you're underpaying yourself before you even start. Your Profit & Loss statement shows you the real flow of money in and out of your business and helps you determine what's actually available. In this video, we break down how to think about paying yourself both as an "employee" in your business and as the owner. Whether it's salary, owner draws, or both! It all starts with understanding your current situation and building a plan around real numbers. If you want to get paid consistently and confidently, your numbers have to lead the way.   -----------------------------   DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS 👉 Check Out the AFFORDABLE - Know Your Business Numbers Course http://KnowYourBusinessNumbersCourse.com     NEED A BOOKKEEPER?  👉 Check out BABO Bookkeeping.  https://babobookkeeping.com  Yep!

    Building a Business as an Introvert (Yes, It's Possible)

    Do you have to be an extrovert to be a successful business owner? Absolutely not. Let's talk about the real differences between introverts and extroverts. Where they get their energy, how they show up, and why neither style is "better" when it comes to building a business. Being an introvert doesn't mean you can't lead, sell, or grow a profitable business. It just means you may need to stretch outside your comfort zone sometimes. You dont have to become someone you're not. This episode is all about encouragement, practical tips, and reminding introverted business owners that your style works and you can be just as successful as anyone else. -----------------------------   DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS 👉 Check Out the AFFORDABLE - Know Your Business Numbers Course http://KnowYourBusinessNumbersCourse.com     NEED A BOOKKEEPER?  👉 Check out BABO Bookkeeping.  https://babobookkeeping.com  Yep!

    Is the Customer Always Right? Let's Be Honest

    Is the customer always right? No..... But they're not always wrong either. Let's talk about why arguing with customers over principle usually costs you more than it's worth. Most people aren't trying to scam you, they just want the problem fixed. When something goes wrong, your job as a business owner is to listen, resolve the issue, and look for the lesson. Was there a breakdown in process? Were expectations unclear? Were there warning signs you ignored? Yes, there will always be a small percentage of bad actors, but don't let the few ruin how you treat the many. Strong businesses don't fight customers… they learn, fix, and move forward. And how you handle the problem matters just as much as the problem itself.

  6. How I Learned to Read a Profit & Loss and Why I Teach Others

    JAN 26

    How I Learned to Read a Profit & Loss and Why I Teach Others

    I was exposed to business numbers long before I ever owned a business. Profit & Loss statements, sales trends, inventory, expenses, just to name a few. These were normal conversations in my world growing up. And when I became a small business owner, that knowledge became my secret weapon. But as I started meeting other small business owners, I realized something big: they WANTED to understand their numbers… they just didn't know where to start. Today, I share my journey with the P&L and why it quickly became my #1 tool for growing a profitable business. The truth is, small business P&Ls aren't that different from big business P&Ls and small businesses have far more in common than you'd ever imagine. No matter what size your business is, your Profit & Loss statement is the key to understanding your money, increasing your profits, and making smarter decisions. Let's make the P&L your new superpower.   -----------------------------   DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS 👉 Check Out the AFFORDABLE - Know Your Business Numbers Course http://KnowYourBusinessNumbersCourse.com     NEED A BOOKKEEPER?  👉 Check out BABO Bookkeeping.  https://babobookkeeping.com  Yep!

  7. You'd Never Let a Customer Not Pay You | So Why Are YOU Doing It?

    JAN 19

    You'd Never Let a Customer Not Pay You | So Why Are YOU Doing It?

    If you've ever fallen behind on paying your employees or the people who help you, it's time for a hard truth: you made a commitment, and not paying them damages trust, morale, and your reputation as a leader. You'd never accept a customer refusing to pay YOU — so why are you doing it in your own business? Two biggest reasons this happens: poor pricing and ongoing debt that drains every dollar before it reaches your team. You need to stop the financial bleeding, pay your people moving forward, and create a plan to make up any back pay. And when a big job comes in? That money needs to fix the business first, not line your own pockets. Strong businesses take care of their people. Let's get you back on track.   -----------------------------   DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS 👉 Check Out the AFFORDABLE - Know Your Business Numbers Course http://KnowYourBusinessNumbersCourse.com     NEED A BOOKKEEPER?  👉 Check out BABO Bookkeeping.  https://babobookkeeping.com  Yep!

    Most Business Owners Do This Wrong!

    Most business owners say they have goals… but what they really have is a fuzzy wish list. "I want to grow," "I want more profit," "I want more customers". However, many do not have a clear plan. And if not tied to actual business numbers, those goals go nowhere. Today, we break down how to turn big dreams into real results. You'll learn how to set at least one long-term goal, break it into monthly, weekly, and daily steps, and use your business numbers to guide your decisions. Because "just showing up" isn't a strategy. However, taking consistent, concrete action is what moves the needle and grows your profits. Let's make your goals actually happen. -----------------------------   DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS 👉 Check Out the AFFORDABLE - Know Your Business Numbers Course http://KnowYourBusinessNumbersCourse.com     NEED A BOOKKEEPER?  👉 Check out BABO Bookkeeping.  https://babobookkeeping.com  Yep!
