Profitable on Paper, Broke in the Bank

Session Overview

Growing sales feels like a win, but it doesn’t always mean the business is healthy. In this 30-minute session, we’ll cover 5 simple numbers every owner should check each month – and show, with a real example, how a business can sell more and still end up with less money in the bank.

What You’ll Learn

  • Check all 5 numbers every month, not just revenue. Looking once a year is too late to catch a problem.
  • Try raising prices by just 1%. It's one of the easiest ways to make more profit without cutting costs.
  • Watch your cash and your profit separately. They don't always move together, and both matter.
