The # 1 mistake entrepreneurs make:
Forgetting to pay themselves first.
Too many business owners set prices to cover costs and forget their most important cost: themselves.
Let's fix it:
- Start with your salary. How much do you need to live sustainably?
- Add your business costs (team, materials, overhead).
- Include a profit margin, growth requires reinvestment.
If your pricing doesn’t pay YOU, it’s not sustainable.
