Create a video membership platform with Uscreen:https://www.uscreen.tv/?utm_category=... đź“ą I've talked about how much gross profit my business makes, and what my typical monthly business expenses are; but I haven't talked about how much money I personally make - until now. I wanted to explain the rationale behind what I choose to pay myself, in case you're also on the journey of learning to balance business finance and personal finance. Hopefully this can give you some insight and ideas of where to get started if you're trying to figure all of this out too (I know it too me a long time to get a handle on it)
