I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'

Hi,  I'm thrilled to have you back with us. In today's episode, we're diving deeper into the Profit First system. If you tuned in last week, you'll remember we discussed using multiple bank accounts to help manage and control your spending. This week, we're taking it a step further by exploring categories and something called CAPS and TAPS.

I’ll start by sharing an inspiring story about a client who turned her business around using these principles. She faced significant challenges with her staffing model and overheads but made incredible progress by implementing the strategies we’ll discuss today.

I also share real-life examples and provide practical advice on how to start implementing these changes. Whether you're a solopreneur, a small practice, or managing a large group practice, this episode offers valuable insights tailored to your business size and needs.
