If your profit is at five times the operating expense account, you should have half a million dollars in it. Take $100,000 out of that profit account and put it in a fifth account, which is investment holding. And when there are opportunities to buy investments, that's what you do with that account. Every year that we can, we fund a SEP IRA. So that's $54,000 tax free that you get when you're old,. I think it is like 55 and a half or something like that.
Run out of cash and your business will crash! That's why in this final episode of our seven-part series, How Your Business is an Airplane, we explain exactly how to manage your finances, giving you a plan to keep your business fueled with cash.
Don also talks with finance guru, Mike Michalowicz, who shows you how to implement his Profit First method.
