- Revenue is the money your business brings in. 

- Profit is what’s left after expenses. 

- Owner pay is what you actually take home. 

Many business owners assume these numbers move together, but they don’t.

You can have high revenue and still struggle with cash. 

You can show a profit and not be paying yourself consistently. 

Understanding the difference between these three numbers helps you make better decisions, price your services correctly, and plan for growth.

If you’re unsure how these numbers work together in your business, it may be time to review your financial reports. 

Clarity here can change how you run your business!
