Listen "Thou Shalt Focus on Profit | EP 105 "
Episode Synopsis
Today, we’re diving into Episode 7 of our special series, The 10 Commandments for Consultancy Business Owners, where we challenge the norms, break down myths, and explore what it takes to build a thriving consultancy.
Today’s Commandment 7 of 10 is: "Thou Shalt Focus on Profit."
In this episode, we uncover:
- Why chasing revenue growth is trap if profit isn't prioritised.
- How to build systems, processes, and efficiencies that boost profit.
- The power of tracking profit monthly — not waiting for your accountant to tell you.
Profit is the lifeblood of your business — it gives the freedom to grow, reward your team, and reinvest back into the business. Without it, you’re just running on a treadmill chasing a false economy – all effort, no reward.
If you’re ready to break free from the revenue hamster wheel and focus on real, sustainable growth, this episode is for you.
