Consistently paying yourself a set amount, even during months of fluctuating revenue, is crucial. While your business income may vary, your expenses likely remain consistent month to month. This is where cash flow forecasting comes into play—a vital aspect of my consulting services.

Cash flow forecasting involves predicting future revenue, expenses.

Once you’ve reached a minimum plateau in your income, you can establish how much to pay yourself consistently. Whether it’s a small or large percentage, the key is to be consistent. Fluctuating personal payouts can lead to uncertainty in both your business and personal finances.

When I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey, I stumbled upon a post discussing cash flow planning and forecasting, labeling it as false security planning. Initially, I grappled with doubts about the value of my studies and experience in running a business and generating income.

While I had a firm grasp on managing expenses, the unpredictability of incoming revenue left me feeling uncertain. However, working with established female founders earning 10k per month and beyond revealed a stark difference. Their consistent revenue streams allowed for more accurate future planning.
