In this episode, I’m bringing back one of the most popular episodes of the podcast from all the way back in 2017—and it’s just as relevant today as it was then.
I sat down with Mike Michalowicz, the mastermind behind Profit First, to explore how group practices can use his proven system to finally gain control over their business finances.
Back when we recorded this, I had just discovered his book, Profit First, and was in the early stages of implementing the system into my own practice. To say it was a game-changer would be an understatement! I went from not taking a profit in my business to consistently paying myself what I deserved, and that shift happened in just a few months.
In this conversation, Mike and I cover:
A real profit assessment from a group practice owner (with a downloadable PDF so you can follow along).
How the Profit First method can transform your practice’s financial health.
The power of niching in boosting profitability.
How to implement Profit First not just in your business, but in your personal life as well.
It’s not just about cutting costs—Mike talks about how to increase margins too!
Mike’s own experience using Profit First in his personal life, and his biggest piece of advice for anyone just getting started.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re working hard but still don’t know where all the money is going, this episode is for you.
