Are you happy with your ‘hourly rate’?
Unfortunately, many family business owners in Australia could be earning more as a salaried employee. When you take into account the hours they work and the return from the business, it’s a pretty dismal ‘hourly rate’.

It’s absolutely critical to have rigorous financial management processes to ensure you become or remain financially successful, and don’t become a statistic.
