When money feels tight in business, the instinct is always the same: get more clients, chase more sales, push revenue higher. But what happens when you’re already making good money and there’s still nothing left at the end of the month?
In this episode, Harman breaks down why more sales can sometimes make a profit problem worse, not better. She walks through what to actually look at instead of chasing another 10K in revenue, why your bank balance can lie to you, and the exact three-line check you can run in Xero this week to find out whether growth is actually making you better off.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why chasing more sales can create a bigger version of the same cash flow problem
- The difference between revenue, gross profit and what you’re actually keeping
- Why “my bank balance says I’m fine” is not a business strategy
- How the Profit First bucket system (tax, operating expenses, owner’s pay, profit) gives money a purpose
- The exact three numbers to pull from your Xero profit and loss this week, and the one question to ask about each
