Book Preview:

You can’t just plug some number into the owner’s salary section of your business plan and assume it’s reasonable. If you’re not willing to pay yourself a reasonable salary, then you don’t own a business—you own an idea. And if you don’t own a business, you probably aren’t an entrepreneur. -> The owner’s salary is a key building block for your business. It is important to understand that you are paid a salary for what you do, and you get a return on what you own. As long as you don’t pay yourself a market-based wage, your financial data is worthless.

#4 You must pay yourself a market-based wage in order to have accurate financials. And as long as you don't pay yourself a market-based wage, your financial data is worthless.
