What should I actually pay myself?
This question carries more weight than most owners realize. Pay yourself too little, and you create constant personal stress, resentment, and burnout. Pay yourself too much, and you weaken the business, create cash flow problems, and sabotage long-term growth. The right answer is not emotional, random, or based on what another school owner says they take home. It must be based on sound financial reality.
