In his signature frank and compassionate tone, Michalowicz reveals why the traditional accounting formula of Sales - Expenses = Profit is not just counterintuitive to human behavior, but a myth that locks you into a never-ending cycle of selling more yet profiting less. In Profit First, Michalowicz explains how this age-old accounting formula turns great businesses into cash-eating monsters, trapping you in a day-to-day, check-to-check struggle to survive. He reveals how to flip that "Frankenstein Formula" and take profit first without compromising your business, and why the Profit First Formula of Sales - Profit = Expenses actually forces innovation, supports sustained growth and skyrockets profits. You are about to discover the step-by-step Profit First system that shows you how to radically change the financial health of your business.from your very next deposit." - from the inner front jacket flap.
