Going back to a full-time job after seven years of entrepreneurship can feel like admitting the business failed, but sometimes it’s the breathing room a founder needs to rebuild without breaking herself. When one entrepreneur reveals that she hasn’t consistently paid herself in a year and a half, Kareen helps her evaluate the real trade-offs of earning outside income while continuing to lead her company. Before dividing her time between a job and the business, she needs to know what each will demand, which one takes priority when they compete, and whether the business she’s rebuilding can eventually pay her what she needs. Because finding temporary financial relief can be a smart decision, but only if it supports a clear path back to a profitable business she still wants to own.
