Summary
Most business owners know their revenue.
Almost none of them know their actual profit.
And that gap? That's how you go broke while feeling busy and successful.
In this episode, I'm breaking down the Profit First method that changed how I manage money, why profit has to come out first (not whatever's left over at the end), the simple bank account system that forces financial discipline, and why setting your lifestyle at your peak revenue months is one of the most dangerous things you can do.
Revenue is vanity. Profit is sanity. Cash is reality.
This is Part 5 of the 7-Figure Business Blueprint. It's the shortest video in the series. Don't skip it. This is how businesses actually fail.
