MAKING MONEY
No one is in business to create
jobs or pay taxes. No one. Real

they do to make money. The
paychecks their employees
draw every month, and the wide
variety of goods and services
American consumers have to

true may confuse the new business owner. And
it is highly likely that in the early years, paying
taxes and creating jobs will be more of what
you do than make money for yourself.

WHAT DO YOU
PAY YOURSELF?
How will you know how much to pay yourself?
In the early years the formula is simple: whatʼs
left over, after you pay debts, taxes, salaries,
and the companyʼs investment capital fund.
What is left over for you to take home is going
to depend on: how much you sell, how much
you spend to stay in business, and what prices
you charge. Beginners tend to spend too much
and charge too little. Furthermore, service businesses often neglect to charge for “real time.”
How much you sell will be determined by market demand, how well you let the market know
you exist, the competition, your location, the national and local economy, and a hundred other
things, about half of which you can control.
