How One Female CEO Took Control of Her Pay and Profits
My client is a service based business owner generating over $450k in annual revenue. But despite the revenue, she wasn’t paying herself consistently and was unsure about what she should earn as the CEO of her business. She’d wasted time doing research using Google and going down social media rabbit holes to find answers, but still had no clear understanding.
Like so many women, she put herself last. She was handling her salary, taxes, and profits without a solid system, leading to a lot of stress and uncertainty. Her role as a CEO deserved a compensation plan that gave her peace of mind and clarity, and she knew it.
Then she came across my Owner's Pay Implementation System (OPIS), my go-to tool for small business owners ready to prioritize their pay and profit margins and she scheduled a call. Together we:
📌Clarified her lifestyle and revenue needs, so she’d know exactly what to bring in each month,
📌Structured a plan for paying herself and putting aside taxes without cutting into business growth, and
📌Set consistent profit margin goals, giving her a sustainable way to align her personal income with her business’s success.
In less than an hour, she had a clear, reliable plan for paying herself properly and finally treating her business like her best investment!
With OPIS, she now has a framework she can use over the lifetime of her business to know what to pay herself, put tax money aside, AND maintain profit margins that keeps her cash flow positive & paid consistently. No more guesswork. She’s "now empowered to lead her business with confidence and feels 100 times more secure in my role as CEO." (...her words not mine)
As a woman business owner, paying yourself isn’t just possible, it’s absolutely necessary. With structured tools like OPIS you can finally stop putting yourself last and start aligning your income with your worth. If you’re not prioritizing your own financial health, who will?
