Through implementing Profit First, money stress is reduced considerably because you are getting paid every month, debts are being managed, and you have enough cash to pay tax and GST on time, every time. PLUS you are growing your business and your profits! What’s not to love about that?!
Profit First can involve challenging choices to cut costs, but it also puts sensible solutions at the forefront of your mind, rather than just worrying about the basic survival or functioning of your business.
This cash management system has some similarities to the Barefoot Investor’s way of thinking if you are familiar with Scott Pape’s work.
