Steven Bousquet joins Dr. Sabrina on today's episode of Profit by Design Podcast after returning, very relaxed, from a 4 Week Vacation vacation. (He made the 4 Week Vacation Pledge at the last retreat held at Dr. Sabrina's home, The Entrepreneur's Retreat Centre.) And the truth of it is that this wasn't even his first 4 Week Vacation. He's had many of them before! So, as you can see, Steven is doing a lot of things right in his business and there's a lot we can learn a lot from him. On the show today he talks to Dr. Sabrina about how he has grown his business quite considerably over the last few months, by acquiring another business. And how, with all of this going on, he still managed to take a 4 Week Vacation.   Steven describes himself as a blue-collar executive and his business is American Landscape and Lawn Science. He founded S&B Lawn and Garden Care in 1983, while still in high school. After graduating from college with a BA in Economics, he changed the name of his landscaping company to American Landscape Service. In 1991, Steven added Lawn Science to the company to form American Landscape and Lawn Science LLC.    Today, Steve and Dr. Sabrina have a though-provoking conversation about getting out of your way in business. Steve talks about how he is continuing to improve his business by making sure that it is not dependent on any one person. He also shares the changes he has made in his business over the last three years, based on what he's learned from the books such Profit First and Pumpkin Plan by Mike Michalowicz. Today's show is going to be a real eye-opener for you!   Show Highlights: Dr. Sabrina is writing a book, The 4 Week Vacation, documenting what happens in a business from the moment that a business owner commits to taking a 4 Week Vacation until the time they take it.

Interview by Chicke Fitzgerald of the Game Changer Network as a part of the Best of the Game Changer series, showcased on C-Suite Network “I don't have time to look at the numbers.” “That's what the accountant is for.” “I can see what the balance is--that's all I need to know.” Why do so many business owners dread looking at the numbers? Financial statements, ledgers, profit and loss reports--many avoid these and treat them like junk mail and phone solicitors. But as a small business owner, having an intimate knowledge of all these crucial numbers yourself is the most important tool you can equip yourself with in order to survive the constantly changing and highly competitive marketplace of the twenty-first century. Nevertheless, it's true--you're not a numbers person. How can you learn to make sense out of all this Greek? Accounting for the Numberphobic to the rescue! This easy-to-follow guide demystifies your company's financial dashboard: the Net Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement, and Balance Sheet. The book explains in plain English how each measurement reflects the overall health of your business--and impacts your decisions. Even self-proclaimed numbers dummies will discover:• How your Net Income Statement is the key to growing your profits• How to identify the break-even point that means your business is self-sustaining• Real-world advice on measuring and increasing cash flow• What the Balance Sheet reveals about your company's worth• And more Don't leave your company's finances entirely in the hands of a third-party accounting service or an employee who is only loyal to the highest paycheck. Even worse--don't ignore them altogether! Knowing the numbers yourself isn't just about seeing how your company is doing . . . it's about knowing where it is going--and guiding it toward the highest profits possible.  The Game Changer is featured on C-Suite Network. Chicke is a philanthropreneur • she zigs where others zag, creating value, growth and bringing to life crazy good ideas that will leave a legacy
