We lay out a simple budget that starts with your income target and works backward to revenue, sales, production, and overhead. By pricing your roles and checking capacity, you learn exactly what $1M requires and what you should pay yourself for each hat you wear.

• owners earn discretionary earnings across roles

• set target income, then compute revenue from percentages

• benchmark pay for ownership, sales, leadership, production management

• sales capacity for one rep and CAC guardrails

• production capacity per crew and honest COGS

• gross profit split into sales and marketing, overhead, profit

• cap overhead so it does not outrun revenue

• identify next hire and fix margins, not just sales
