Profit First training for small business owners

The Profit Revolution: a Step-by-Step Profit First Course

Take control of your cash flow, pay yourself first, and run a business that puts money in the bank every month. No accounting degree required.

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Money comes in, but none of it seems to stay
  • Cash flow keeps you up at night: will payroll, rent or taxes be covered this month?
  • Everyone else gets paid first, and you take whatever is left, if anything
  • Some months money flows, other months you are scraping by
  • Looking at your accounts is stressful, so you avoid it
  • Tax season catches you off guard every year

What does the course teach?

The one change at the heart of Profit First. The usual formula is Sales minus Expenses equals Profit, so profit is whatever is left over. The Profit First formula is Sales minus Profit equals Expenses: profit gets paid first and expenses adjust to what is left.

Debbie built The Profit Revolution because most Profit First material explains the theory and skips the part where you sit down at your desk on Monday morning and do it. This course walks you through applying the change to your real bank accounts and your real numbers.
