Hilary Hendershott simplifies how to save for retirement when you’re self-employed
In this episode, you will learn:
- The best way to pay yourself, considering the pros and cons of being on payroll vs. taking owner’s draw
- The different retirement account options that are available to you now
- How to decide what is right for you and your business
- The best time to start saving
- Is there a ‘right’ age, or stage of your business?
- How much you should save every month/quarter/year
- How to save for retirement now, and still pay the bills
I’ll be the first to admit – I don’t have it all figured out myself, in this arena either. So, know that I was feverishly taking notes throughout this entire episode, as I’m sure you will be too. Grab a pen and paper!
Whatever you do, pinky promise you won’t throw your arms up and hit pause on your podcast player while listening to this one.
I made sure Hilary simplified the technical jargon, making it easy to understand. It means you can create saving systems in your work and in your life, starting today.

Favorite quotes from this episode:
[07:34] “If you’re a business owner who believes that wanting money or serving for money is bad and fundamentally evil, this creates a major conflict in your mind – Hilary
[10:12] “If you’re working seven days a week, 360 days a year earning minimum wage (or equivalent), you might as well go get a job. Let’s have entrepreneurship be the golden road to an amazing lifestyle. You’ve got to create profitable revenue streams and pay yourself handsomely.” – Hilary
[11:20] “It comes back to realizing that you jumped off the corporate 9 to 5 train to build a business that suits your lifestyle. So it should also pay you, bottom line. And if it doesn’t, over time, start to question why you’re doing it.” – Mary
[12:25] “What is a CEO in your industry making? You should be able to pay yourself that on payroll, wearing your CEO hat as soon as possible. And then anything else that’s left over, those are your profit draws.” – Hilary
