What It’s About
How can you pay yourself a stable salary when client work is unpredictable?
Notes from Chris
Episode 3192
Freelancing offers freedom—until the calendar turns into a thriller novel: cliff-hanger months, nail-biter invoices, and the ever-present plot twist called Quarterly Taxes.Mariana’s design income swings from $8 K to $1.2 K and back again. She doesn’t want a complicated corporate payroll—she just wants rent money that shows up on time every month. Good news: you can create “paydays” even as a sole proprietor by treating your business like its own little economy.
“My design business can pull in $8,000 one month and then limp along at $1,200 the next. I’m tired of living off whatever’s in the checking account at bill-pay time. Is there a smart way for a solo freelancer to give herself an actual salary—something consistent—without setting up a full S-corp payroll? I’d love a framework for smoothing out cash flow so rent, groceries, and taxes feel predictable instead of stressful roulette.”
