Pay Yourself First: A Smarter Way to Reinvest for Growth
Tue Feb 03 2026
Are you actually paying yourself from your business, or are you telling yourself you will someday? In this episode, we're talking about why paying yourself is not optional if you want a healthy, legitimate business.
I share what comes up over and over again in conversations with women entrepreneurs, especially around guilt, fear, and the belief that they are not making enough yet. We talk about why not paying yourself leads to burnout, resentment, and feeling like your business is just an expensive hobby instead of a real source of provision.
If you've been reinvesting every dollar, working nonstop, and wondering when this is supposed to start feeling worth it, this episode will help you reframe paying yourself as stewardship, confidence, and part of treating your business like a business. Because when you do, it starts paying you like one.
