252. From Minimum Wage to CEO Pay – How to Work Smarter and Make More

In this episode, I'm sharing how I went from paying myself minimum wage to setting—and hitting—a real CEO-level salary. If you're a store owner who wants to make more and work smarter, this one's for you. I'll walk you through how to set a salary goal, calculate the revenue needed to support it, and start delegating tasks so you can focus on growing your business.

Plus, we'll talk about the revenue cap solo store owners hit and why hiring a store lead is a game-changer once you hit $350K+ in annual revenue.
