I think you have the wrong idea of what "company" profit is. We are not talking about what the owners income is. We are taking about what is left after all the bills are paid....including the owner.
I've always found it amazing too the amount of people that just assume because you walk into a large business, that they must just be rolling in the doe. They have to give you that impression or you might think they are not a legitamiate business.
That building is not profit, those big windows in the front, not profit, all the merchindise on the shelf...that's not profit either. After paying for inventory cost, insurances, taxes, property taxes, wages, accounting fees, gas, company cars, a a million other things you just took a 25 million dollar business and made 250k, if you make a profit at all and are not just floating off a line of credit.
