Review Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine
by MIKE MICHALOWICZ
Description
The author of The Pumpkin Plan and The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur rendered yet again, another guidebook that offers logical financial solutions that will help small businesses escape financial failure and achieve exponential and quick returns.
Though highly flawed, traditional accounting uses the logical formula, Sales- Expenses = Profit. However, businesses are operated by humans, and since humans are susceptible to mistakes, financial concerns, and issues frequently arise. Drawing from this error, Serial Entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz created a unique behavioral approach to revise the formula: Sales – Profit = Expenses.
Using the principle of limiting volumes through minimum consumption, Michalowicz emphasized that by focusing on profit first and strategically budgeting on what is allocated for expenses, entrepreneurs may flip their failing business into a machine capable of raking in exponential profits. Through the help of Profit First system, readers will have knowledge on:
- Importance of 4 simple principles and strategies in accounting and financial management
- The value of small business and how it can worth more than large businesses if the right approach is implemented
- Immediate and sustained profitability is crucial for businesses in order to achieve longer momentum
Through this guidebook infused with case studies, systematic instructions, and entertaining voice, Michalowicz collected and compiled the formulas for an entrepreneur to achieve financial success.
