Ever heard of Profit First by Mike Michalowicz? It's a great resource for people who want to... (leans closer) GET PAID while running their business! However, if you're like most small business owners, you probably think of profit as something that comes after expenses have been set aside. And that's not a good practice to bring into this fresh year.

Do we need to make sacrifices to keep our business running? Yes, running a business does take a certain amount of sacrifice, but constantly placing yourself at the bottom of YOUR list will only lead to resentment and burnout.

So, what can we do about this? How do you make profit a part of your everyday business?

Well, what if there was a way to make it so that you could actually see how much money you were making every day? That's where Profit First comes in!

Join me in this episode as I share all I know about Profit First: its core principles, how to implement it in your business, what I love about it + what I don't particularly love, along with some real-world applications to get you more confident in your numbers this 2022.
