About this book

The Courage to Be Profitable explains how to achieve and maintain profitability in your business while spending less than 30 minutes per month on the task. Once you understand true profitability, reviewing your weekly and monthly financial statements becomes more rewarding. The book covers key concepts including the definition of profit and why businesses should operate based on net profit per hour. It addresses the critical distinction between profitability and cash flow—a business can be profitable yet still fail financially. The guide also explains how business growth can mask underlying unprofitability issues. Practical topics include straightforward approaches to planning and budgeting, as well as simple steps for analyzing your financial statements each month. By following these methods, you can improve how you run your business and increase earnings.
