What if your business could guarantee profit – every single month – no matter what?
In this episode of Choose Your Hard, Travis Jansen breaks down the game-changing book Profit First by Mike Michalowicz. Instead of running your business on the old formula “Sales – Expenses = Profit,” Michalowicz flips the script to “Sales – Profit = Expenses.” It’s a mindset shift that forces you to put profit at the top, not the leftovers.
Travis shares his personal takeaways from implementing Profit First in business and life, the hardest parts of making it real, and how financial discipline becomes a daily “Choose Your Hard.” Whether you’re a startup founder barely staying afloat or a seasoned entrepreneur chasing growth, this episode will challenge the way you think about money and give you practical steps to start keeping more of it.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why traditional accounting keeps entrepreneurs broke
- How the “Profit First” formula can transform your cash flow
- Practical ways to implement Profit First in your business
- Travis’s personal stories of wins and struggles with this system
- Why profit is not selfish — it’s survival
