Episode #56: Is Your Business Profitable?
This week I give you the tools to figure out if your business is profitable or not.
We talk about the difference between gross revenue (the big number everyone is talking about) and profit. Because if your business is not profitable, and you can't pay yourself what you're worth, you won't have a business for very long.
I review the differences between service-based, product-based and brick and mortar businesses. There are equal amounts of opportunities and pitfalls to watch for in each type of business from a profit margin perspective.
I speak openly about which revenue streams in my own business are more profitable, and which ones are less profitable and why I'm OK with that.
Lastly, I go into the three main ways you can make your business more profitable.
- Make more money
- Spend less money
- Make more/Spend less simultaneously!
I also list a few of my past episodes that might help you understand these concepts even better while sharing the personal stories of some of my amazing clients.
