For family business owners who want fair pay and real profit, this shows you how to end money resentment and protect Thanksgiving.
You've probably done the math at the kitchen table, late at night, when nobody's watching. The business cleared a decent month. And you paid yourself… something. A number you pulled out of the air, or whatever was left after the bills, or nothing at all because "the business needs it more." Then your brother-in-law asks, at Thanksgiving, how the business is going. You say fine. He asks what you're pulling down. And you feel your face get hot, because you don't actually know. Here's the thing you're probably telling yourself: paying yourself is greedy when the business is still growing. That's not caution. That's a story you inherited.
