Day 3351 – Profit First – A Book That Changed How I Look At My Businesses And Income – Read A New Book Month Day 13

I first heard of Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine* by Mike Michalowicz on Sunny Lenarduzzi’s YouTube channel. I’m SO glad that this book found its way into my reading list. I just finished it yesterday and I have to say, it has already had an impact on our businesses. We have adjusted every source of income to take a profit out. So I can say, all of our sources of income are profitable now.

There are lots of books about finances and income and how to allocate your money, but what I really liked about this one was he gives you a system that works with where you are. It encourages baby steps and taking a good, hard look at what you’re doing. As luck would have it, Bret listened to this at the same time, so we were able to talk about what we learned in almost real time. It is so important to be on the same page with finances!

If your business isn’t profitable or if you’d like to increase your profitability, this is the book for you.

Day 3328 – The Importance Of Finding What Makes You Tick

I’m currently reading Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine by Mike Michalowicz. It has been a really interesting read and I’m already finding that it’s changing my thoughts on a number of things and a line caught my eye today:

“When you know what makes you tick, it gives you a massive advantage over yourself.”

I think this is the key to really getting things done. You can follow all the advice in the world but if it doesn’t make sense to how you tick, it will never work. One of my bigger motivators is tracking things and highlighting what I actually get done on a checkbox list. Being able to see the colors highlighted every day makes me feel so good. Especially since they’re highlighted in rainbow order. I know this about myself, it’s how I tick, and I use that to my advantage.

It seems that almost all of the advice out there goes back to – work on you first, figure out you, and the rest falls into place.

So what makes you tick?
