The journey of running a business becomes truly fulfilling when it encompasses not only the pursuit of profit but also the passion for helping others. In my five years of implementing Profit First, I have learned invaluable insights about managing and sustaining a successful business. 

In this episode of Profit First for Tradies, I share with you what 5 years in profit first has taught me about running a business. Over the course of five years, my journey with Profit First has been a continuous learning experience that has profoundly impacted not only my management skills but also my personal growth. 

Embracing the business of helping others has taught me valuable lessons about effective communication, collaboration, and creating an environment where our clients can succeed. I have come to understand the art of balancing financial stability with the core purpose of serving others, keeping the focus on the impact and the value we can offer. 

The personal fulfilment derived from genuinely helping others and contributing to their success is irreplaceable, and this has shaped both my professional and personal perspectives on running a thriving business.

  • How to go searching for solutions (06:13)
  • Why you should implement the profit first system (07:58)
  • What is a profit first mentor and why you should have one (09:44)  


In this unpredictable world, it is evident that the true essence of business success is in fostering collaboration, nurturing relationships, and striving for the greater good, igniting an unshakable motivation to continue learning, growing, and sharing, even beyond our comfort zones.
