“Do you know that your eyebrows are way darker than your hair? You should change that.”
“How did YOU land such a good looking guy?”
“10 emails in 3 days? Go F** yourself. Way to f’in annoy potential clients. F’in idiot.”
“You’re way too aggressive, I’m out.”

In Pursuit of Profits
Episode 165: How to Pay Yourself As An Entrepreneur
So you own your own business which means you’re the boss, and as the boss, you get to determine how much money you make. Awesome, right? Considering how often I get asked this question, it seems to be more stressful than awesome for most business owners.
If you ask the average entrepreneur what they make, they’ll likely tell you their profits for the year. “I made six figures last year” often means the BUSINESS made six figures. But what did you, the business owner pay yourself? And how do you come up with that number? And what should your business goals be to align with your personal salary goals? In this episode I walk you through A to Z of how to pay yourself in this crazy entrepreneurial journey. I cannot emphasize enough how important this episode is. To get a complete walk through over my own money journey and how to pay YOURSELF, tune into Episode 160.
