Balancing Business Growth and Personal Financial Goals

When managing profits from the landscaping company, Dawson aims to balance business reinvestment with personal financial objectives. To prioritize growth and stability, he plans to allocate a percentage of profits to retained earnings for future investment and emergencies. This retained amount will safeguard the business against unforeseen downturns and support equipment replacements, like mowers, essential for operations. By setting aside a structured portion for business growth, Dawson can pursue personal goals, such as paying off the mortgage, without compromising business stability.
