Consistency is what tells your body it’s safe to lead.
If you only pay yourself on “good months,” it’s hard to feel safe and supported by your work.
Your nervous system is on alert because it knows that – even when revenue has come in – you’ll be the last to get paid, if at all.
Essentially, it knows that being financially supported by your business is optional… conditional, which is why your system can never truly stand down.
That’s why one of the most powerful shifts you can make as a business owner is turning your pay into a rhythm. A real salary. Something stable. Something you can rely on.
That’s exactly what I show you inside The Simple Money System.
When you pay yourself consistently, you start building self-trust.
Your nervous system stands down because it knows you’re not last on the list.
You’re not waiting to see if the business will “allow” you to be paid. You’ve already decided that you matter.
You’re able to make decisions from a place of being resourced, not from fear or pressure and your work stops feeling like something that takes and takes without giving anything back.
There’s also a very practical shift that happens when you start paying yourself properly: you finally get a real read on how profitable your business actually is.
If your pay isn’t accounted for, your profit is inflated. You’re making decisions based on numbers that don’t reflect the true cost of running the business — including the time, energy, and leadership you’re contributing.
That honesty serves you and the business. You make more informed decisions. You can see what’s sustainable, what’s not, and from there, you’re no longer guessing — you’re leading with real data.
Inside The Simple Money System, I walk you through the order I follow to make paying yourself normal — alongside saving, tax allocation, and the “financially supported” buffer that makes everything feel calmer.
If you want your business to support you in real time — not just on paper — start here.
