Episode notes
Difference Between Revenue and Profit
- Revenue is the total sales figure and often the largest number on the P&L statement.
- Profit is what remains after expenses and shows the actual earnings or "bottom line" of a business.
Profit Over Revenue Matters
- Profit matters more than revenue since profit shows business health and potential sustainability.
- Margin % shows the ratio of profit to revenue; thin margins imply a weaker business model.
Margins Vary by Industry
- Margin expectations vary by sector; grocery stores thrive on slim margins (~10%), while software aims for 80-95% margins.
- Knowing your industry’s margin norms helps gauge business viability and opportunities.
