Retire early using Profit First
Do this before worrying about advertising
I know you read this daily email for advertising advice…
But unless you are exactly as profitable as you want to be already…
I suggest you steal my brand-new accounting system today.
It will help you maximize profit.
It’s called Profit First.
If you haven’t checked out the book, I recommend picking it up here.
Here are the cliff notes:
#1 — Stop pretending you need to reinvest in your business.
This is not the case. Learning and growing are helpful, but not at the expense of limited cash flow.
#2 — Forget the old accounting formula forever.
Revenue - Expenses = Profit is a thing of the past. Don’t use it anymore.
#3 — Use the new formula to automatically extract higher profit.
Your new formula is Revenue - Profit = Expenses. This makes you profitable immediately.
#4 — Set up a separate Profit bank account that you export money to before you pay any expenses, bills, or even payroll.
This creates the habit of stacking cash for later investments.
#5 — Become lean and effective working with less expenses.
You’ll be forced to figure out how to run your business with less. Cut software, fire inefficient employees, and lean out. This is good.
#6 — Start small, then begin to pull out 50%, 60%, or even 90% profit each time your business makes revenue.
You can set this up with auto-transferring in your business accounts.
#7 — Get the money out of sight in a new savings account without a debit card connected so you can’t spend it.
Throw the cash profit into a high-yield savings account. I use Marcus by Goldman Sachs.
If your cash flow is super high…
You could probably stack a million in cash within a year…
Or reach $5m in the bank within a few years.
Then, you can live off the 5% interest of cash alone…
And make $250,000/year for the rest of your life with little to no risk.
Of course, you may want to buy some real estate or other investments…
But my point is…
Your business is already capable of making you extremely wealthy…
You just need to follow the Profit First Accounting system.
Hope that helps.
