Pay Yourself First

So many entrepreneurs get stuck in the mindset that profit is what is leftover from business expenses. But this tends to leave business owners as the last ones getting paid – even though they are the ones accepting all of the risk and responsibility. However, there are long-term ramifications of this mindset.
