18. From Success to Satisfaction and Fun Times in Fast Cars

Welcome to the View from the Top podcast! In this episode, we are joined by Rocky Lalvani. Rocky discusses his experience quitting the corporate world and launching his own business. He openly shares his fears and anxieties related to the transition's financial aspects and how he overcame them with the help of his wife. As a result, he established a business financial management system called Profit First. In Profit First, Rocky demonstrates how the conventional formula of sales minus costs equals profit is reversed to become sales minus profit equals expenses.
