🎇 Your 2026 Money Map: How to Pay Yourself Confidently All Year

Most people enter the new year with big goals and a fresh planner—
but not a clear plan for how their money is going to support those goals.

And that’s why January often starts with motivation…
and ends with stress.

So instead of making resolutions, we’re going to make a Money Map.

It’s not a budget.
It’s not restrictive.
It’s not complicated.

It’s simply a clear, simple plan for:

• What you’re earning

• What you’re spending

• And what you’re paying yourself

So this year feels supported.

✨ Step 1: Decide how you want to feel financially this year

Before you do any math, ask:

“What do I want my relationship with money to feel like in 2026?”

Examples:

• Steady

• Spacious

• Predictable

• Light

• Supported

That feeling becomes your compass.

💸 Step 2: Choose Your Owner’s Pay Percentage

This is the most empowering money move you’ll make this year.

Decide right now:

“What percentage of revenue do I want to consistently pay myself?”

Common starting points:

• 30% for newer businesses

• 40–50% for established service businesses

This creates confidence and consistency, not guesswork.

📊 Step 3: Look at Your Offer Profit Margins

Not all services are created equal.
Your most popular offer isn’t always your most profitable one.

Review each offer:

• Price

• Time required

• Expenses to deliver

• Emotional energy cost

Choose to build your year around what actually supports you.
Not what drains you.

🌱 Step 4: Schedule a 15-Min CEO Money Check-In

Once a week.
Light a candle.
Open your numbers.
Breathe.
Look.
Adjust gently.

Clarity comes from contact, not pressure.
