The Numbers No One Told You: Benchmarks Every Business Needs

from Her Profit Era · host Cindy Kumar

You’re making money — but somehow, there’s never enough left over. The truth? Most women entrepreneurs aren’t tracking their margins… they’re just guessing. In this episode, I’m giving you the real numbers — the benchmarks every business owner should know if they want to stay profitable: • How much you should actually pay yourself (hint: 30–50%) • The max percentage that should be going to your team (no, not 60%) • How much profit to keep (yes, you should be keeping 20–25%) If your cost of sales is 65% and you’ve got nothing left — this is the wake-up call. Let’s fix the leaks, stop the bleeding, and help you finally feel in control of your money.
