One of the most common — and costly — mistakes business owners make is not paying themselves consistently.
When you don’t pay yourself a wage, it often leads to:
Stress at home when personal bills and groceries are hard to cover
Pulling money from your business just to make ends meet
A growing shareholder loan that must be carefully monitored
Unexpected tax bills at year-end
Potential CRA penalties and interest if withdrawals exceed what’s allowed
You wouldn’t expect your employees to work for free — so why should you?
Join us for our Free Midday Masterclass: Pay Yourself First, where we’ll walk through why paying yourself properly matters and how to structure it in a way that supports both your business and your personal life.
