All Roads Can Lead to Profit

248: All Roads Can Lead to Profit Today, I am excited to offer you a replay of an episode that I did back in 2018 with Mike Michaelowicz. You may know Mike, he is the author of a large number of books from Profit First to Clockwork to Surge, The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur , and The Pumpkin Plan. Mike and I had a really awesome conversation about how all roads can lead to profit if you set the correct coordinates. I really thought that as we're wrapping up this year, things have been shifting, they're a little bit different, we've been through a pandemic, and we've watched buying patterns change over the years and I think this is a great time to be reminded of the fact that we have agency and choice in our business and that those choices that we're making either lead us closer towards profit or further away from profit. With that being said, I want to introduce to you Mike Michaelowicz. Topics Mentioned: Profit  Real revenue  Sustainability and Responsibility  Ideal Clients and Target Markets    Thoughts from Mike:  Profit means that I continue to deliver what I intend to for my community.     Clients want to know that your business is sustainable and sustainability is profitability.     It is important to have a realignment of pride in profits.     In The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur we learn that lack is our biggest advantage. Lack brings about innovative thinking and challenges us.     In Pumpkin Plan we learn how to grow organically and healthily and to identify our best clients.     Once we have clarity on a purpose, the journey becomes very rewarding.     Surge teaches how to know your industry and to see what the next big thing is.     Clockwork teaches that our business can be sustainable and not reliant just on us.  Contact Michele: Email: [email protected] Facebook: Scarlet Thread Consulting Instagram: @ScarletThreadATL Website: ScarletThreadConsulting.com LinkedIn: Michele Williams Contact Mike: Website: https://mikemichalowicz.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MikeMichalowicz Facebook: https://MikeMichalowiczFanPage/ References and Resources: The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur by Mike Michaelowicz The Pumpkin Plan by Mike Michaelowicz Profit First by Mike Michaelowicz Surge by Mike Michaelowicz Clockwork by Mike Michaelowicz E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber CFO2Go Work with Me Metrique Solutions Financial Courses with Michele Williams including “Understanding Your Financials”, “Master Your Profit”, and “Pricing Without Emotion”
