Why Your Business Should Reward You Every Quarter
👉 You're the boss — so where’s your bonus? Or your reward? Or… something?!
Let’s be honest: If your business had an HR department, it’d be in serious trouble for forgetting the CEO’s quarterly reward plan. You run the show, solve the fires, bring in the sales, and still… nada?
It’s time to change that. Whether it’s a cash bonus, a weekend getaway, or just a guilt-free tech upgrade, rewarding yourself every quarter should be non-negotiable. Here’s why:
🎯 Goals feel way better when there’s a reward waiting. Crushing your targets is great. But knowing there's a reward — even a small one — at the finish line? That’s real motivation.
💸 Profit isn’t just numbers on a spreadsheet. Too often, business owners let the company eat first… and last. A quarterly reward (or Profit Distribution for those with Profit First vibes) reminds you that you matter in this equation too. Even if cash is tight, a well-deserved perk (hello, spa day or new headphones?) can go a long way.
🎉 It creates space to celebrate. When you’re always chasing the next milestone, you forget to pause and acknowledge what you’ve accomplished. Quarterly rewards build in that pause — and let you actually enjoy the ride.
🏆 It sets the vibe. You’re building more than a business — you’re creating a lifestyle. And one that doesn’t include any rewards? That’s just a job with extra stress. No thanks.
So what counts as a “reward”? → A cash bonus? Yes. → A day off with no guilt? Yep. → A fancy dinner, a concert, new gear, or just a week without client calls? 100%.
The point is: DO something for yourself every 90 days. Because when the owner is energized, celebrated, and cared for — the business thrives too.
