Stop treating yourself like the worst employee in your business

Amy Greene |

Quick question that might make you squirm:

If you treated your team members the way you treat yourself financially…

Would they stay?

Imagine telling your VA: “I’ll pay you when I have a good month and once everything else gets covered first.”

They’d be outta there faster than you can say “cash flow problem.”

But that’s exactly how most entrepreneurs treat themselves: perpetually at the bottom of the financial priority list.

Let me be blunt:

This isn’t noble.

It isn’t a “phase.”

And it definitely isn’t sustainable.

It’s a systemic problem that undermines everything you’re working so hard to build.

Because here’s the uncomfortable truth:

When you don’t pay yourself consistently, you don’t SHOW UP consistently.

You…

  • Make desperate client decisions
  • Price from scarcity instead of value
  • Avoid necessary investments
  • Operate from a place of financial PTSD that your clients can smell a mile away
  • Begin to resent your business rather than love it

I know because I’ve been there.

Working nights, weekends, and everything in between with two young kiddos at home, I was making good money, and somehow still struggling to pay myself a reliable paycheck.

The turnaround didn’t come from making MORE money (though that followed).

It came from implementing my CEO Compensation Framework—the exact system that ensures you get paid consistently, regardless of business fluctuations.

This isn’t theoretical. It’s what transformed my own financial reality.

Today my paycheck is consistent and transfers right into my personal checking every month on the same date every month.

You could say I’m a salaried CEO.

The biggest shift was when I put my paychecks on auto-pay.

It’s a completely different energy when you can set it and TRUST it.

And my clients get to experience the same liberating sense of predictability, security, and freedom.

Which is why I have 4 remaining spots available for private coaching.

My program isn’t right for everyone, so let’s see if we’re a good fit.

P.S. You’ve probably tried various financial “solutions” before. The difference here is that I’m not going to give you a one-size-fits-all formula. We’ll create a system tailored to YOUR business model, revenue patterns, and personal financial goals. Because cookie-cutter solutions create cookie-cutter results. The ball’s in your court.
