Michael is a stonemason and awesome at his craft. Cash for Michael and his wife Janna, would come and go as fast it came in. They had no real plan on how to manage their sales income, which lead to not paying super for himself, always behind on BAS payments and having massive arguments with Janna his wife. I helped Michael and his wife over an 18-month period. Janna was a non-believer, challenging me on everything and questioning the process. As time went on, small wins meant incremental trust that the Profit First system does work, which resulted in having cash available for the BAS and being able to pay his bills on time. It was a nice change not to worry about the ATO calling about a late payment and the opportunity to pay for materials up front at discount with cash.

When I first met Jamie, he had an awesome business that was missing two things – profit and a salary that matched his effort. A part-timer in Woolworths was earning more than he was. There was nothing good about this scenario, everyone was being looked after except the company’s number one employee, Jamie. In the true sense of Profit First, we reversed-engineered the numbers. Working out what he’d like to be paid, where we could reduce expenses, and reviewing how much we charged. Fast forward to today, Jamie has a thriving business and an income that matches his effort and expertise.
