Tonia Brown, MBA, Announces Virtual Workshop: “The P.A.I.D. Blueprint™” A 2.5-Hour Intensive Teaching Small Business Owners How to Pay Themselves First, Eliminate Tax Surprises, and Engineer Financial Stability

BENSON, N.C. — Tonia Brown, MBA, founder of The PAID Blueprint and accounting educator with 28+ years of experience, today announced an upcoming virtual workshop for small business owners: The P.A.I.D. Blueprint™: Profit Allocation & Income Distribution. The workshop is scheduled for Friday, May 16, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. EST, and will be delivered entirely online via live virtual session.
The P.A.I.D. Blueprint™ is a structured, strategic, and data-driven framework designed to solve one of the most pressing challenges facing small business owners today: generating revenue while still being unable to consistently pay themselves. According to the workshop, 82% of small businesses fail due to poor cash flow, and inaccurate bookkeeping costs businesses more than $50,000 annually.
“The number one complaint I hear from small business owners — across every industry, at every revenue level — is ‘I can’t pay myself,’” said Brown. “The P.A.I.D. Blueprint™ exists specifically to solve that problem. Not someday. Starting now.”
 
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The 2.5-hour intensive workshop is structured around five core learning sections and includes two scheduled breaks. Participants will receive a complimentary copy of the P.A.I.D. Workbook™ — an interactive Excel-based tool that automatically calculates allocations and tracks financial progress across the year.
The session agenda includes:
•  9:00–9:20 a.m. — Welcome, Housekeeping & Mindset Reset
•  9:20–9:45 a.m. — The P.A.I.D. Blueprint™ Framework: What It Is & Why It Works
•  9:45–10:10 a.m. — The Six Buckets & All Four Revenue Tiers Deep Dive
•  10:10–10:20 a.m. — Break
•  10:20–10:50 a.m. — Common Mistakes, Real Business Scenarios & Implementation
•  10:50–11:00 a.m. — Break
•  11:00–11:25 a.m. — Live P.A.I.D. Workbook™ Demo & 90-Day Goal Setting
•  11:25–11:30 a.m. — Coaching Options, Next Steps & Live Q&A
 
WHAT ATTENDEES WILL LEARN
During this workshop, participants will learn how to:
•  Apply the P.A.I.D. Blueprint™ framework to assign every dollar of business revenue a specific, intentional purpose from the moment it enters the business
•  Identify their current business tier — Startup ($0–$50K), Growing ($50K–$150K), Scaling ($150K–$500K), or Thriving ($500K+) — and apply the correct allocation percentages
•  Structure six dedicated financial buckets: Owner Pay, Operating Expenses, Tax Reserve, Emergency Fund, Profit Reserve, and Business Reinvestment
•  Eliminate year-end tax surprises by funding a dedicated Tax Reserve account with every revenue deposit
•  Set up dedicated bank accounts that make the system visible and sustainable
•  Use the P.A.I.D. Workbook™ to track allocations, monitor monthly progress, and set measurable 90-day financial goals
