8% of profits plus 60k with sliding scale for certain profit and volume margin hurdles hit thru growth. That way it gives incentive to work hard as an owner would.

@qasim5279

Is that 8% for each upper management? Or total split between them

As for the pay structure, the 10% is fine, but that goes to all upper management. If there's only one, guy, he gets it. If there's 10 people, they split the pot.

What a smart business operator -

Great ideas but as for the profit sharing bonus it would be better to do it quarterly. Firstly it's easier for a small business to do a full financial review 4 times a year instead of 12. Secondly it encourages longer term thinking and when the bonus comes in it will feel like a good amount, more rewarding in that way.

I’m a very ambitious individual who is a salaried employee. I always wonder what these type of companies make. I’m often surprised with revenue of a few million that the owners take home $60K. It’s a respectable salary but makes me wonder if it’s all worth it if you’re already making six figures in a regular job?… I guess once they sell their company the big payday comes in.

Most people that pay themselves a salary from their own business will also give themselves a dividend at will or on a scheduled basis.

Simon's approach to making his operations manager feel like an owner through profit sharing is a smart strategy for long-term engagement and success. 🌟 Ensuring that key team members are invested in the company's profits not only boosts morale but also aligns their goals with the overall growth of the business.

So very well said. But the owners need to remember to pay themselves too.

dave is so fair

My first thought when he said he was looking to get into something different was why not get into lumber production

Many business owners pay key employees as much or more than they pay themselves. Don’t forget, the business owners get paid last when cash flow is tight.

I don't love the comp plan because if they invest alot into growing then bottom line profit and the comp won't be that good fir a year or two and the sacrificed comp won't be later rewarded because when the revenue jumps from the invested amount then his comp plan percentage will be lowered. He will be pushing for not investing into the company while maximizing immediate profits. It seems to me that an equity compensation is the fairest way to incentive a person. Also with a guarantee we will buy back your equity and a guaranteed 6 p/e

They could do a 10 % profit bonus with a cap of his annual salary so max bonus plus salary would be 200% salary total. This would protect them from being crushed during a period of exponential growth as was as an easy contract point of changing salary every 1 dollar raise is a possible 2 dollar change. 60-120k window of pay.

How are they getting crushed? It's still 90/10 no matter how you slice it. As the company grows and there is a need to promote and reward new 10:08 people you put them on a bonus plan that is Tied to their job skill. That's all going come out before net profit anyway. Just saying they seem to think highly of this guy why not give him the 10% have him sig ln the non compete and get busy making more buildings.

Couldve made this a lot more simple - Pay the manager $60000 a year.

Paying a top-level manager $60K (which is $44K in USD) or even, say, $100K with bonus or profit sharing, should be offensive to the employee. He can and should go earn more money elsewhere.

What I don't like about this is that the guy who hypothetically helms growing the business to $30 million gets his share cut down because he did a good job. There should be some legacy/longevity component there where the guy who did all that work gets more than the version of him who gets brought in at the finish line.

At that point there would be 4-5 of him also working doing the same job with 30-40 more employees… he would be doing less work as a percentage of the company so in turn the percentage of the profit also should follow it.

I think it's an AI. With ChatGPT 4 + voice emulator, you can do that today.

So I guess you could say employee that I trust very much. Your position is going to get a bonus of10% period, but if we grow to a point where I have to have 2 of you. You guys are sharing that 10% pool. If there's 3 of you. You're still sharing that 10% pool. But 3 of you each getting 3.3% out of a 100 million dollar pie. It's better than you getting 10% out of a 2 million dollar pot.

You want me to help you grow. I will need to share in the winings. Partner or no deal. Some business owners only see their best performers as employees only. They want more value than they are willing to pay for. I'll help you grow to 10x with a base salary plus equity in the business.

Imagine how much money businesses would save if they could use AI for CEOs

Until someone understands that compensation is a very small part of how someone feels, and also how it relates to productivity…impacts that even less. You can double each one of yearly incomes. Means nothing. You’re not going to work harder. You’re not going to be smarter. Anyone that thinks otherwise, you will always think like an employee. Never like an employer.

Yes this is where it gets you sharing profits that you have no say in how the profits are spent. The boss spends 100,000 redoing the show room because his wife thinks it needs an upgrade. It is dated she thinks but that money spent does not increase income to the company but it makes you bonus a lot less. Or all the conventions the boss attends in Florida or Hawaii and takes his family to Taylor Swift concerts at the same time but the employee just gets less of a bonus. Not to mention the brand new pickup the boss drives While you drive around the 20 year old shop truck regular cab with manual windows with no A/C. The employee starts looking at all the un necessary expenses as a devaluing of his bonus because that is what it really is.
