Want to know exactly how much you need to sell to hit your profit goal? In this episode, we use a simple formula and your Profit & Loss statement to reverse engineer your sales target and build a more profitable business.
David Richter is the author of Profit First for Real Estate Investors and founder of Simple CFO, a company built to help real estate investors get control of their cash flow, pay themselves consistently, and stop living deal to deal. He spent nearly a decade inside a real estate business that scaled to 25 wholesale deals a month, where he eventually took the finance seat, only to discover they were spending more than they were making — and that nearly everyone around them was in the same boat.In this featured episode, David joins Jason Lucchesi on the No Flipping Excuses show to walk through the exact financial foundation every investor needs from their first deal forward. From the Golden Trio bank accounts to finding your keep number to what clean financials actually look like to a lender, this conversation gives real estate investors a clear, no-excuse starting point for building a profitable business.This is a practical, straight-talk episode for investors at every stage — whether you're still waiting on deal one or you're ten years in and still chasing your tail. If you've ever wondered where your money goes after a deal closes, or why more deals aren't translating to more personal wealth, this is the episode that answers it.David's core message is simple: real estate is the vehicle, but money is the game. And most investors don't know the rules. This conversation gives you the foundation to start playing it right.Episode Highlights[0:26] – David teases the episode: $25 deals a month while going broke, the Golden Trio accounts, and the keep number framework[1:13] – Jason Lucchesi opens the No Flipping Excuses interview and introduces David Richter[3:16] – David's origin story: started in real estate at 19 after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, joined a team doing 5 wholesale deals a month and helped scale it to 800+ total deals[4:35] – How David ended up in the finance seat with zero accounting background, and what he learned sitting down with the CPA to understand profit, loss, and cash flow[5:14] – The wake-up call: doing $25 deals a month but spending $26 worth out the door — and realizing at masterminds that this was an industry-wide problem[7:07] – Why Gary Harper's recommendation of Profit First hit David so hard, and how it led him to partner with Mike Michalowicz on a real estate-specific edition[9:31] – Why the classic "pay yourself first" advice from Rich Dad and The Richest Man in Babylon always stopped short — and what Profit First does differently[12:09] – The #1 mistake most investors make: the single "black hole" account where all money comes in and disappears, with every decision based solely on the balance[13:52] – Introducing the Golden Trio: profit, owner's comp, and owner's tax accounts — and why even 1% into each is enough to start breaking the deal-to-deal cycle[15:31] – Why Relay Bank partnered with Profit First and how to open up to 20 accounts for free to implement the system right now[21:23] – How to figure out realistic starting percentages, why 1% beats 0%, and when to begin ramping toward the recommended targets based on your revenue range[24:10] – The lender advantage: why having clean, structured financials and visible reserves makes you far more attractive for financing on rentals and portfolio growth[26:35] – Role play: two investors walk into a bank — one sloppy, one Profit First-style — and what actually happens in underwriting[29:49] – Finding your keep number: how one investor lost $70,000 in 2019, found his number, and realized he only needed five deals in 2020 to hit his goal[35:10] – David's two book recommendations: Crucial Conversations (for life, marriage, and leadership) and Fix This Next by Mike Michalowicz (for diagnosing your business stage)5 Key TakeawaysThe single bank account is the root problem. Most investors run their entire business out of one account and make every spending decision based on the balance. Splitting into multiple named accounts creates instant clarity about what money is yours, what belongs to taxes, and what's actually available to invest.Start with the Golden Trio, not a perfect system. Profit, owner's comp, and owner's tax accounts are the three that matter most first. Even putting 1% into each from every deal builds the habit and keeps you from sending everything out the back end of your business.The Hope and Pray plan is not a strategy. Hoping a deal closes before payroll is due isn't business management, it's survival mode. Knowing your keep number — the actual monthly amount you need to take home — replaces hope with a real target and changes how you size deals, marketing spend, and growth.More deals don't fix a broken system. Scaling a business that loses money on cash flow just creates bigger losses at higher volume. Getting the financial foundation right at five deals a month means you're actually building something — not just generating more chaos with more zeros.Clean financials make you a better borrower. Lenders look at reserves, structure, and cash management. Investors running Profit First-style accounts with visible cash buffers get better terms, faster approvals, and more lender interest than operators with sloppy books, regardless of how many deals they've closed.Links & ResourcesProfit First for Real Estate Investors (free copy) — https://www.simplecfo.com/giftSimple CFO (book, podcast, and discovery call) — https://www.simplecfo.comRelay Bank (Profit First-friendly banking, up to 20 free accounts) — https://www.relay.comProfit First by Mike Michalowicz — available on Audible and AmazonCrucial Conversations by Kerry Patterson et al. — available on Audible and AmazonFix This Next by Mike Michalowicz — available on Audible and AmazonRich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki — referenced by David as the book that started it allClosing RemarkIf this episode gave you a clearer picture of what your finances should actually look like, share it with an investor friend who's still running everything through one account.

En este episodio reflexionamos sobre una parte de la paternidad de la que pocas veces se habla: la presión de querer estar presente, proveer, guiar y al mismo tiempo sostener todas las responsabilidades del negocio y la vida. Hablamos de cómo muchos padres viven entre la culpa, el cansancio y la exigencia de "poder con todo", sin detenerse a reconocer lo que también necesitan como personas. Una reflexión para mirar la paternidad con más honestidad, entender que estar presente no significa ser perfecto, y recordar que también se puede construir una vida donde la familia, el negocio y el bienestar personal tengan espacio.

What if the problem isn't your business? What if the problem is that you're trying to force yourself into a life you no longer want? In this episode, we have an honest conversation about something most business owners never talk about: what happens when you hate being a business owner. Some people are struggling because they simply haven't figured out their numbers yet. They love being a business owner but need to understand their Profit & Loss, pricing, debt, cash flow, and profitability. Others hate every aspect of business ownership. They hate sales. They hate marketing. They hate managing people. They hate the pressure and responsibility. Those are two completely different situations. The question is: Which bucket are you in? Today we're talking about how to know the difference and what to do next.

Most independent practice owners know the practice and their personal life are supposed to be separate. Separate entities, separate accounts, separate tax returns. Almost none of them have built the structural separation that makes that true when things get hard. EP185 covers the three systems that explain why one bad quarter in the practice becomes a personal financial event, and the firewall that stops it. System 1 — The Entanglement: No formal salary. No distribution schedule. Whatever is left in the business account goes home with the owner. In a good month: $40,000. Mortgage, 529, investment contribution. In a bad month: $14,000, covered with personal savings. The savings account does not come back as fast as the practice does. System 2 — The Bad Quarter Multiplier: The cascade that runs from a billing disruption straight through to the owner's personal financial decisions. Collections drop. Distribution skipped. Mortgage still goes out. Investment contribution paused. Operational decisions made under financial stress — delay the hire, pull back on marketing, hold off on the software upgrade that would have fixed the billing gap that caused the problem. That practice is always one bad quarter away from making decisions a wealthier version of itself would never make. The Cascade in Numbers: Payer delays 45+ days → Operating account drops → Owner stops paying themselves first Denial rate spikes 5% to 14% → $28K/month delayed or lost → Personal savings tapped for household bills Key provider unexpected leave → Volume drops 30% → No distribution for 60 days Contract renegotiation stalls → 90 days cash flow uncertainty → Investment contributions paused indefinitely System 3 — The Firewall: A market-rate owner salary that does not move with revenue. A distribution schedule tied to net profit after a defined reserve threshold. Personal savings that build independent of what the practice has on hand.

Most business owners are busy. The question is: are they actually successful? In this episode, we talk about one of the biggest traps small business owners fall into—confusing activity with progress. Just because you're working long hours, running from job to job, and staying busy every day doesn't mean your business is growing or becoming more profitable. We discuss the difference between working IN your business versus working ON your business, why so many owners avoid looking at their numbers, and how failing to carve out time for planning keeps them stuck in the same cycle year after year. You'll learn why protecting time to review your business, improve systems, develop your team, and understand your Profit & Loss report may be the most important work you do all week. If you're tired of spinning your wheels and ready to build a more profitable business, this episode is for you. ----------------------------- DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS

Una conversación para reflexionar sobre los límites, las prioridades y la importancia de construir una empresa que no se coma tu relación, sino que también le dé espacio a tu vida.

Key Takeaways Audit your top ten competitors before making a single design decision Prioritize closet space, in-unit laundry, lighting, and cabinetry in unit renovations Full-size stackable washers and dryers outperform compact units in resident satisfaction Furniture layout planning, including TV placement and door positioning, directly affects rentability Looking high-end and being expensive are not the same thing Cheap materials that fail early cost more over time than durable materials installed once Differentiate from the competition rather than replicate it Topics What Residents Actually Want in a Unit Walk-in or large closets are now a baseline expectation, not a premium feature In-unit full-size stackable laundry is the preferred standard for most unit types Updated lighting, countertops, and kitchen cabinetry signal value to prospective residents Common Design Mistakes in Multifamily Layouts are not evaluated for furniture placement before construction or renovation TV placement and couch space are often afterthought considerations Excessive interior doors fragment rooms and reduce usable wall space Simple layout adjustments, such as moving a door 12 inches, can unlock meaningfully higher rents How to Stand Out Against the Competition List every competitor, their amenities, finishes, unit quality, and rents before setting a design direction Identify what the market is missing, then build toward that gap Boutique, differentiated spaces lease faster than properties that blend in Marcy cites a university-area project where a speakeasy-style hangout space and boutique design drove strong lease-up against large institutional competitors Looking Premium Without Overspending A $1.50 tile can look high-end with the right design approach Affordable housing projects should look as good as the budget allows, not be deliberately toned down Cheap, low-durability materials often require costly mid-cycle replacements that eliminate any initial savings Work with established vendors who can offer warranties and guarantee product longevity Designer Bank: Design Education for Developers Designer Bank is an online platform offering modules on Revit, rendering, space planning, lighting, flooring, and tile Modules are taught by industry practitioners with deep product knowledge Targeted at developers, investors, and anyone who wants to make better-informed design decisions

20 years ago, Bo Burlingham gave a name to a feeling a lot of business owners had struggled to articulate. In his book Small Giants, Bo profiled companies that had chosen not to chase growth at all costs. Most were bootstrapped, owner-operated businesses that cared less about getting big than about building something enduring, meaningful, and excellent. They weren't anti-growth. They just wanted growth to be intentional. And for many owners who read the book, the reaction was immediate: “I thought I was the only one who felt this way.” Out of that recognition grew a community—and eventually an organization—led in large part by Paul Spiegelman, whose own company embodied the Small Giants philosophy. With Bo's encouragement, Paul launched the Small Giants organization 15 years ago to connect owners trying to build great companies without sacrificing culture, independence, or quality of life.At our recent 21 Hats Live gathering in Cincinnati, we explored where that movement goes next in a Brainstorm session with Jean Moncrieff, who took over leadership of the Small Giants organization last year. Jean—who's from South Africa, lives in Zurich, but is moving to the U.S.—brings both momentum and candor to the role. He recently led his first Small Giants Summit in Detroit, which attendees—including me—praised for its renewed energy and sense of purpose. He's also the author of a terrific new book, Finding Freedom: The Business Owner's Guide to Building a Valuable Company and a Meaningful Life. But as you'll hear, Jean recognizes there are challenges ahead.What exactly is Small Giants today? Who is it for? What makes it different from the many other organizations competing for the attention of business owners? Does it need a more formal set of principles—or even an operating system—to help companies put its philosophy into practice? Can it stay true to its founding mission while also attracting businesses large enough to support its events and programs? Ultimately, the conversation arrives at a tension at the heart of the enterprise: Can the Small Giants organization itself become a sustainable, profitable business without losing the values it was created to protect? In other words, can Small Giants become a true small giant?Show Notes:The organizations discussed in this episode include: The Great Game of Business, the Tugboat Institute, and EOS Worldwide.The books discussed in this episode include: Finding Freedom by Jean Moncrieff, Small Giants by Bo Burlingham, Another Way by Dave Whorton with Bo Burlingham, The Great Game of Business by Jack Stack and Bo Burlingham, The Power of Mattering by Zach Mercurio, and Profit First by Mike Michalowicz.The businesses discussed in this episode include: Smiley Technologies, ITR Economics, Zingerman's Community of Businesses, Text-Em-All, Tasty Catering, Venturity, ImageOne, and Atomic Object.

In this episode of the Profit First for Real Estate Investors podcast, host David Richter sits down in person with Mike Michalowicz — author of Profit First — for the fourth episode in their series together. This conversation takes a deeper look at identity and the mindset shifts that separate investors who build lasting wealth from those who stay stuck on the hamster wheel.Mike introduces a powerful reframe: stop thinking of yourself as a business owner or entrepreneur and start thinking of yourself as a shareholder in your own company. He explains why that identity shift changes everything — from how you manage profit to how you make decisions — and why most people will never experience financial freedom until they first achieve financial independence.The conversation also covers the guilt-free joy of spending profit you've actually earned, the emerging concept of out-loud budgeting, and why profit has to come first if any other goal — freedom, flexibility, impact — is ever going to be possible.If you've ever felt like you're building a business but not actually benefiting from it, this episode is the mindset reset you need.Episode Highlights[0:31] – Why financial freedom starts with financial foundation[1:04] – Mike's children's book My Money Bunnies and why it secretly teaches adults[1:42] – The biggest challenge for real estate investors: being good at the deal but not the business[2:27] – Why great salespeople often fail as sales managers — and what that means for entrepreneurs[3:06] – Stop calling yourself a business owner — call yourself a shareholder instead[3:42] – What shareholders actually do: share in profit, take risk, give strategic direction[4:05] – Why the identity shift from entrepreneur to shareholder changes how you behave[4:39] – The pink vest story: how a physical object helps bifurcate the roles[5:48] – The Alter Ego Effect and how elite athletes use identity triggers to perform[6:30] – How to use space, objects, or mnemonics to enter your shareholder role[7:04] – Mike's bracelet and the "Eradicate Entrepreneurial Poverty" mission behind it[8:03] – Why your primary identity label determines your primary outcomes[9:11] – The corporate edict that every small business should follow: care for the shareholder[10:15] – Why setting up a for-profit business and putting profit last is a contradiction[10:57] – How profit fuels purpose — and why being profitable lets you do more good[11:35] – The survey Mike runs at speaking events: why financial freedom is the number one reason people start businesses[12:08] – Why personal freedom and impact are impossible without financial freedom first[12:39] – What Simple CFO focuses on in the first 30 to 60 days: laying the financial foundation[12:56] – The $10 ice cream story and why guilt-free spending is the highest form of joy[13:31] – Why it's not the thing you buy — it's the freedom you have once you've acquired it[14:13] – How expectations around big deals set investors up for disappointment[15:06] – Why income level doesn't determine happiness — money management does[15:45] – Financial freedom vs. financial independence: why one is a moving target and one isn't[16:17] – How financial independence means you control money — not the other way around[17:12] – How Profit First delivers control and confidence over your cash[18:20] – Introducing out-loud budgeting: saying the truth about your finances instead of making excuses[19:16] – Why being public about your budget doesn't invite judgment — it invites solutions[20:07] – The closing challenge: start seeing yourself as a shareholder in your own business today5 Key TakeawaysCall yourself a shareholder — not a business owner. That single identity shift changes how you relate to profit, how you make decisions, and whether you actually take money home from the business you built.Financial independence beats financial freedom. Freedom is a moving target. Independence — where you control money and it doesn't control you — is achievable at any income level and is where real confidence begins.Guilt-free spending is the highest form of joy. It's not the thing you buy that brings joy. It's whether you have the financial freedom to enjoy it without debt or stress hanging over it.The three reasons people start businesses — financial freedom, personal freedom, and impact — all require profit as the foundation. None of them are achievable without it.Out-loud budgeting builds confidence. Saying the truth about your financial situation — to yourself and others — removes the shame, opens conversations, and forces you to confront what actually needs to change.Links & ResourcesGuest: Mike MichalowiczBooks: Profit First, The Money Habit, My Money Bunnies — available wherever books are soldHost: David RichterCompany: Simple CFO — simplecfo.comTopics discussed: Shareholder identity, financial independence, financial freedom, Profit First, out-loud budgeting, guilt-free spending, entrepreneurial mindset, purpose-driven businessClosing RemarkIf you're running a for-profit business but treating profit like an afterthought, this episode is your wake-up call. Mike Michalowicz and David Richter lay out exactly why the identity shift from entrepreneur to shareholder is the foundation everything else is built on — and why financial independence isn't just a nice-to-have, it's the only way to achieve the freedom and impact you got into business for in the first place.Subscribe, review, and share this episode.

The How of Business - How to start, run & grow a small business.
Identify what to fix next in your small business and build consistent profitability using the Profit First methodology. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/r322-mike-michalowicz/ Many small business owners stay trapped in survival mode because they don't know what to fix next in their business. They work long hours, constantly fight fires, grow revenue, and still struggle to achieve predictable profitability. In this episode, Henry Lopez talks with entrepreneur and bestselling author Mike Michalowicz about how business owners can identify the right priorities, stop spinning their wheels, and build a more profitable and sustainable business. Mike shares insights from his book Fix This Next, including his Business Hierarchy of Needs framework that helps entrepreneurs determine what their business actually needs next instead of reacting to daily crises. He also explains why many businesses mistakenly believe more sales will solve every problem when, in reality, increased sales often create more stress, obligation, and operational chaos. Henry and Mike also dive into the core principles behind Profit First, the cash management system that challenges the traditional accounting formula of Sales – Expenses = Profit. Instead, Mike explains why business owners should prioritize profit first by allocating profit before expenses, forcing smarter operational decisions and healthier financial discipline. During the conversation, Mike shares: Why entrepreneurs often struggle to identify their biggest business problem. The "A to B" exercise for determining what your business needs next. The Business Hierarchy of Needs framework. Why growing revenue alone often increases stress. How Profit First changes the way owners manage cash flow. Why most small businesses operate check-to-check. How to begin implementing Profit First starting with just 1%. Why profitability forces better business decisions and innovation. The importance of validating your business model early. Mike also shares the personal story behind creating Profit First after losing nearly everything financially following the sale of his businesses. This episode is packed with practical insights for entrepreneurs who want to stop chasing revenue and start building a healthier, more profitable business. Mike Michalowicz is an entrepreneur, speaker, and author. He is the bestselling author of several influential business books including Profit First, Fix This Next, The Pumpkin Plan, and Surge. Mike is also the founder of Profit First Professionals, an organization that helps accountants, bookkeepers, and financial professionals guide business owners toward greater profitability.

Gas prices go up… so should your prices go up too? This is a question many small business owners are asking, and the answer is not always simple. Today, we break down the pros and cons of passing along higher gas costs to your customers. You will learn when it makes sense to raise prices, when it might hurt your business, and how to think through the decision using your numbers. Pricing should never be based on emotion or panic. It should be based on understanding your costs, your margins, and your overall profitability. If you want to protect your profits and make smart pricing decisions, this is a conversation you need to have. ----------------------------- DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS
In this episode of the Profit First for Real Estate Investors podcast, host David Richter sits down with Mike Michalowicz — author of the original Profit First — for the third episode in their ongoing series together. This conversation zeroes in on one of the most common financial struggles in real estate: inconsistent deal flow and what to do when big chunks of money hit your account all at once.Mike breaks down the drip account and vault account concepts in plain terms, explains why the human brain is literally wired to spend lump sums, and makes the case that having cash reserves isn't just a financial strategy — it's the most powerful negotiation tool you'll ever have. David ties it all back to the real estate investor experience, showing why having systems in place when the money lands is just as important as getting the deal done in the first place.If you're a wholesaler or flipper who's had big months followed by painful dry spells, this episode gives you the exact framework to fix that for good.Episode Highlights[0:31] – Introduction to Mike Michalowicz and the backstory behind Profit First[0:47] – How losing all his money led Mike to build the Profit First system[1:54] – Why Profit First isn't new — it's rooted in principles as old as the Bible[2:27] – Profit First by the numbers: 1.1 million copies sold in 31 languages[3:38] – Why Profit First took off when Mike's other nine books didn't[4:50] – The real reason Mike writes books — he writes them because he doesn't get it yet[6:34] – What Mike discovered about Profit First audiobooks being pirated on YouTube[7:06] – Why he chose to post the Money Habit audiobook for free on YouTube instead of fighting it[8:10] – The core problem for real estate investors: inconsistent deal flow and big swings in income[8:30] – The snowplow business story and why a great season can set you up for disaster[9:30] – Introducing the drip account: how to normalize income from lumpy cash flow[10:30] – Practical example: how to drip out $100K in deal proceeds over 12 months[11:16] – Received income vs. recognized income — the key distinction[12:16] – Why rentals already function like a Profit First system and wholesaling doesn't[13:10] – Why most entrepreneurs have systems for everything except what happens when money hits the bank[13:29] – How to create monthly recurring revenue in any business — it's a choice[13:53] – Optimal foraging theory: why the brain is hardwired to consume lump sums[14:10] – Introducing the vault account: the reserve account for predictable unpredictability[15:09] – Why three months of reserves is the minimum — and why Mike keeps 12[16:07] – How reserves give you mental clarity and prevent reactive decision-making[16:44] – The one thing to take from this episode if nothing else: start the drip or vault account today[17:03] – Why "reinvesting in the business" is often just a soft term for running a business poorly[18:32] – How having a vault account becomes your most powerful negotiation tool[19:17] – The deal Mike almost passed on — and why the other party came back on his terms[19:35] – Why a bad deal is worse than no deal5 Key TakeawaysThe drip account solves the feast-or-famine cycle. When you receive a large lump sum, carve it into smaller monthly pieces so your business operates consistently regardless of when deals close.Your brain is wired to spend lump sums. Optimal foraging theory explains why humans naturally consume money that arrives all at once — a system is the only reliable defense against it.The vault account is your buffer against the predictably unpredictable. Three months of reserves is the minimum. With it, you make decisions from confidence. Without it, you make them from fear."Reinvesting in the business" is often a red flag. If that phrase means throwing money back in without a clear ROI, it's not a strategy — it's an inefficient business that needs more discipline, not more cash.Cash reserves are the ultimate negotiation tool. When you don't need the deal, you can walk away from bad terms — and that leverage is worth more than almost any single transaction.Links & ResourcesGuest: Mike MichalowiczBook: Profit First — available wherever books are soldBook: The Money Habit — full audiobook available free on YouTubeHost: David RichterCompany: Simple CFO — simplecfo.comTopics discussed: Profit First, drip accounts, vault accounts, inconsistent deal flow, cash reserves, negotiation, wholesaling, rentals, recurring revenueClosing RemarkIf you've ever had a great month followed by a month where you wondered where it all went, this episode is the answer.

You set up your 401(k) contributions years ago. They go out of your paycheck automatically, before you even see the money. You've been doing this for years. And you've been telling yourself you're saving for retirement. You're not saving. You're investing. Automatically, often without much thought, into a market-linked account where the value can drop without you withdrawing a single dollar. https://www.youtube.com/live/ISSLntYMpig That distinction isn't just semantic. It explains why so many high-earning, responsible people feel like they're not making real financial traction even when they're doing everything they were told to do. I've worked with clients across this exact transition for years. And what Bruce Wehner and I talked through on the podcast this week gets to the root of it. Not which products to use. The order. Save automatically. Invest intentionally. Get that order right and everything changes.

Key Takeaways Saving and investing are not the same thing. Saving has a dollar-value floor - your $100 stays $100. Investing doesn't - the value can drop without you touching a cent. Most people have been calling one thing the other. The order you do them in determines your financial outcome. The default playbook is: invest automatically first, spend second, save whatever's left. The wealthy do it in reverse: save automatically first, spend from what remains, invest intentionally from the surplus. Automatic 401(k) contributions are investing, not saving - and doing them without due diligence, in a market-linked account you don't control, is a bet most people don't realize they're making. Automating saving is a cognitive strategy, not a cop-out. It removes a high-stakes decision from your mental queue, so your best thinking goes toward evaluating actual investments, where discernment genuinely matters. Interrupting the compounding curve is more costly than it looks. The exponential gains happen late in the cycle. Most people never get there because they restart the clock repeatedly by spending, redirecting, or skipping months. Intentional investing means deploying capital into things you understand, with control, sized to what you actually have, not automatically following historical performance into deals you don't fully understand. The Difference Between Saving and Investing (And Why Most People Get It Wrong) Let's start with a precise definition, because the confusion between these two things is where most of the problem lives. Saving is placing money somewhere it cannot lose dollar value. If you put $100 into a savings vehicle, those $100 will be there when you come back. The amount won't become $60 or $80 because of market conditions. You haven't taken the money out. No one stole it. It's just there, in full, because you put it there. Investing is different. When you invest, you're placing capital somewhere it has the potential to grow, but also to lose value. Not because you withdrew anything. Because the asset itself dropped. You can wake up to an account statement showing your $100 is worth $50, and that's investing. What About Inflation? This is where people push back, and it's a fair point. Inflation erodes the purchasing power of savings over time. That's real. But what often gets missed is that inflation erodes investments too. The same monetary forces that reduce what your saved dollars can buy are working on your invested dollars simultaneously. And an investment loss on top of inflation doesn't solve the inflation problem. It doubles it. Losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in a badly-timed deal isn't an inflation hedge. It's your money going backward at speed. The distinction we're drawing is about the dollar-value floor. Savings has one. Investing doesn't. That's it. The Language Problem The reason this gets so muddled is that the phrase "saving for retirement" has become the universal shorthand for 401(k) contributions, which are, by this definition, investing. Money in market-linked funds can drop. It has dropped. For many people, it's dropped dramatically at exactly the wrong moment. Calling that saving doesn't make it safer. It just makes it harder to think clearly about what you're actually doing. Why the Default Financial Playbook Works Against You Here's how most working Americans handle their money, in order: First, a payroll deduction flows automatically into a 401(k) or similar vehicle before the money arrives in their account. Then spending happens. Then, if anything is left at the end of the month, it might get saved. Maybe. The sequence is: invest first, spend second, save whatever remains. The problem isn't the investing. It's what that order produces in practice. The Automatic Investing Trap That first move, the automatic 401(k) contribution, is made without active due diligence, without specific knowledge of the underlying assets, and without meaningful control over timing or allocation. For most people, the decision is: pick a fund from a list, or accept the target date fund default. That's it. Target date funds are a genuine improvement over doing nothing. They diversify automatically and grow more conservative as you approach retirement. Financial advisors help take emotion out of the process, which matters more than most people realize. These are real improvements. But they don't solve the core problem. You've still lost control of that capital. You face future tax liability. And if you need access to it before retirement, the options are limited, costly, or both. The Syndication Cautionary Tale Bruce has been in over 6,000 client meetings. And one thing he's seen play out repeatedly in recent years is what happens when the "must always be invested" mindset runs into a changing economic environment. A lot of people deployed capital into real estate syndications because the historical performance looked strong and the tax benefits were real. What they didn't fully evaluate was what happens when interest rates rise sharply, and when deals structured around balloon-payment loans need to be refinanced. Rates went up. Sponsors couldn't refinance. Distributions stopped. In many cases, that capital is effectively gone. Not because real estate is a bad investment category. Because people committed capital without evaluating the current monetary environment, and instead relied almost entirely on historical performance as their due diligence. The people who pushed that money in because they felt they couldn't afford to leave it sitting somewhere safe are the ones who lost. Their money didn't just fail to outrun inflation. It evaporated. The Savings Void Because saving is residual in the default sequence, it often doesn't happen at all. By the time spending is done, there's nothing left to put aside. And that's the trap. When a genuinely good investment opportunity appears, there's no capital ready to move on it. The people who can act are the ones who built up savings first - liquid, available, usable cash that's safe and in their control. The others watch the opportunity pass. How the Wealthy Reverse the Sequence The pattern Bruce sees consistently across his wealthiest clients is the opposite of the default. They save automatically first. They determine spending second. They invest intentionally from what remains. The order of priority is reversed, and everything that follows is different because of it. The Personal Economic Model Think of your money as moving through a system. Income arrives. Taxes come out. Then every dollar faces a decision. The first and most important decision isn't to save or invest. It's: how much of this am I going to spend? Spending less than 100% of what you earn is the prerequisite for everything else. It sounds basic, but it's the step most people skip conceptually, even when they think they're doing it. The Richest Man in Babylon put it plainly: set thy purse to fattening. A part of all that you earn is yours to keep. Mike Michalowicz made the same argument for businesses in Profit First. If you wait to see what's left after spending, there won't be anything left. There never is. Once you've decided what you're keeping, the next question is the order. Save first, spend from what remains, then invest intentionally from the surplus you've built. The Client Who Saved His Way to Retirement Bruce shared a story that most financial commentators would dismiss as a cautionary tale, but it's actually the opposite. One of his clients kept his 401(k) in a money market account for his entire c

“Implementing Profit First in your law firm is a meaningful first step that you can take that will help you correct this costly and stressful misalignment between yourself and the clients of your law firm.” – RJon Robins, author of Profit First for Lawyers For many law firm owners, profit feels uncomfortable. Maybe even selfish. But what if profit isn’t the problem? In this episode, immigration attorney Jennifer Walker Gates shares how implementing Profit First transformed not just her law firm, but her entire relationship with money, ownership, and profitability. Coming from a nonprofit background and serving primarily working-class immigrant families, Jennifer admits she once viewed profit as a “dirty word.” Charging for legal services felt emotionally complicated, and looking closely at financial numbers often created anxiety instead of clarity. What Is Profit Really? Everything began to shift after reading Profit First by Mike Michalowicz. She now had a new way of thinking about profit, and that thinking was elevated even further after reading Profit First for Lawyers by RJon Robins. The law firm-specific focus helped her rethink what profitability could look like in the context of running a law firm. Not as greed. Not as taking from clients, but as a mutually beneficial exchange. This transformative understanding changed everything. By implementing Profit First methodology in her firm, she was prepared when an unexpected financial downturn occurred. She saw the benefits of Profit First in real time. That experience cemented the practical reality of prioritizing profit. From implementing Profit First accounting, reframing overhead as an investment, and overcoming fear around financial visibility, Jennifer shares how small changes in financial thinking created major changes in both her business and her life. Today, she views profit not as something to avoid, but as something that protects the future of her firm, the people she serves, and her family. Gaining Financial Clarity For Jennifer, one of the biggest mindset shifts was recognizing that profit and purpose are NOT opposites. A law firm that protects its profits is a law firm that can survive economic downturns, support its team, continue serving clients, and create stability for the owner’s family. When law firm owners avoid looking at their numbers, anxiety grows. But when they begin building systems that protect profit, they gain the confidence to make objective financial decisions. The result is not just a healthier business, but a healthier relationship with money itself.

The How of Business - How to start, run & grow a small business.
Grow a healthier business by managing cash flow, using debt strategically, and building strong business relationships. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/607-growing-a-small-business/ Growing a business requires far more than simply increasing sales. It demands financial discipline, smart decision-making, and strong relationships. In Part 2 of this entrepreneurial roundtable series, Henry Lopez is joined again by Giuseppe Grammatico, Rocky Lalvani, and David Barnett for a practical conversation about what it really takes to grow a small business. The discussion begins with one of the most important topics for entrepreneurs: cash flow management. Rocky explains the principles behind the Profit First system, created by Mike Michalowicz, and why many business owners fail to recognize financial problems until it's too late. They also discuss why relying only on bank balances can create dangerous blind spots and how cash flow systems can provide early warning signs when something in the business model is broken. The conversation then shifts into debt and leverage. The panel explores the difference between using debt strategically to fund profitable growth versus using debt to cover operational problems or poor financial management. David shares examples of how business owners can misuse lines of credit and why understanding the purpose behind borrowing is critical to long-term business health. Finally, the group discusses the importance of relationship building and networking for business growth. Henry shares why getting out into the community, identifying referral partners, and building meaningful connections remain essential growth strategies for local and service-based businesses. This episode is packed with practical advice for entrepreneurs who want to build a stronger and more sustainable business. This episode is hosted by Henry Lopez.

Most real estate investors are making the same hidden financial mistakes — and they don't even know it. In this episode, David Richter sits back down with Mike Michaelowicz, the original author of Profit First, to break down the most common traps that keep entrepreneurs stuck in their business instead of building one — and the practical fixes that can change everything.They cover the difference between revenue and profit, why taxes surprise people every single year even though they shouldn't, why paying yourself a consistent salary changes everything, and what financial visibility actually looks like in practice. If you're still running and gunning without a system, this is the episode that gives you one.Timeline Highlights[3:10] Why real estate investors confuse technical skill with business ownership[3:54] The McDonald's test: why the owner should never be flipping the burgers[5:35] Only 3.4% of people will ever successfully run a business — and your job is to create jobs for the rest[6:26] How wholesaling, flipping, and rentals each require a different level of business ownership[7:34] Hidden mistake #1: confusing revenue with profit[7:55] The homebuilder who got a $100K deposit and bought a boat the next day[8:53] Hidden mistake #2: ignoring taxes and being shocked every April[9:27] Why every business owner is an agent for the government — and what that means for your cash[10:21] Why 15% of top-line income is the magic number for your tax account[14:01] Hidden mistake #3: not paying yourself a fair owner's compensation[14:32] Why owner's comp and profit are two completely different things[14:56] Why starting with just one account — owner's comp — creates the most transformation[15:32] Homeostasis and why a predictable salary stabilizes your entire financial life[16:07] How the owner's comp account helps W-2 employees build toward leaving their job[16:45] Hidden mistake #4: lack of financial visibility — ignorance is not bliss[17:50] Why not having regular visibility leads to overreacting in both directions[18:07] Financial Friday: why Mike checks his accounts every single week[18:57] Yellow flags vs. red flags — and why Profit First gives you early warning systems[19:38] Why financial clarity gives you energy back as a spouse, parent, and human beingKey TakeawaysYour job as a business owner is not to do the job — it's to create jobs for others.Revenue is not profit. Spending money you haven't actually earned yet is one of the most common and costly mistakes in real estate.Taxes are never a surprise — set aside 15% of top-line income from day one and never get caught off guard again.Owner's compensation and profit are two different things. Pay yourself for the work you do, not just as a reward for risk.Starting with just one account — owner's comp — creates more transformation than any other first step.A predictable salary stabilizes your lifestyle and prevents the dangerous peak-and-valley financial cycle.Financial visibility is not optional. Check your accounts regularly, build yellow flag habits, and stop letting surprises run your business.Links & ResourcesThe Money Habit by Mike Michaelowicz — available at mikemotorbike.com or any major retailerBook a free discovery call to get Profit First working in your business: simplecfo.comClosingThanks for tuning in.

Feeling overwhelmed in your business? You might be trying to fix too much at once. Let's focus small and get big results! Today, we break down the 80/20 rule and how it applies directly to your business. The idea is simple. A small portion of what you do is responsible for the majority of your results. That means 20% of your products likely drive 80% of your sales. 20% of your processes may be causing 80% of your problems. And 20% of what is on your Profit & Loss could be driving most of your profit issues. Instead of spreading yourself thin, you need to narrow your focus. Find the few things that matter most and work on those first. When you do, you can create bigger results with less effort and finally start moving your business forward. ----------------------------- DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS

Why should a customer choose you over your competition? If you cannot answer that clearly, you are making it harder than it needs to be to grow your business. In this video, we talk about what it really takes to stand out. Whether it is choosing a niche, delivering exceptional customer service, or solving a specific problem better than anyone else, your goal is to become the obvious choice. We also talk about how your competition is not the enemy. It is actually one of your best teachers. Study what they do well, not just what they do wrong, and use those insights to improve your own business. At the end of the day, standing out is not about being louder. It is about understanding what your customers truly want and becoming the business that delivers it best. ----------------------------- DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS
Making 2.2 million in projected profit and considering bankruptcy at the same time — that's the reality more real estate investors face than anyone admits. In this episode, David Richter sits down with Mike McHale, author of The Money Habit, to unpack why so many entrepreneurs feel broke no matter how much revenue they generate, and what's actually driving that cycle at a biological level.They dig into Parkinson's Law, optimal foraging theory, loss aversion, and the psychology behind why money behavior gets amplified — not fixed — as your income grows.

Your sales are up… but your profit is down. What is going on? Too many business owners find themselves working harder, bringing in more revenue, and still making less money. The first step to fixing it is not guessing. It is going straight to your Profit & Loss and comparing it to previous time periods. Most people jump straight to cutting expenses, and yes, that matters. But the real issue for many businesses is sitting in payroll, payroll taxes, and subcontractors. Instead of improving processes and developing their team, they keep adding more people. And now payroll is eating up all the profit. Today, we break down where to look, what trends to watch for, and how to address the real problem so your business can become more efficient and more profitable. ----------------------------- DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS
Two core elements of leadership are effective communication and creating community. AJ has done both. I can attest from taking her writing workshop and participating in her author community since. I wrote the first draft of Sustainability Simplified in her workshop.I also valued the book she co-wrote with her writing partner and podcast guest Mike Michalowicz. As you'll hear in our conversation, their podcast is one of the only ones I've listened to every episode of.I've wanted to bring her on the podcast for a long time since I learned so much from her and value participating in her community so much. If you're here to build community to change culture, I believe you can learn from AJ's journey and building her community. I see them based on honesty, integrity, doing the reps, self-awareness, and the things that many people talk about but not all do. If I'm not too direct and blunt to say so, environmentalists in particular not only lack these leadership properties, many of them shun them.AJ's homepageHer writing workshop that I took and recommend Hosted on Acast.

So you want to spend $500 in your business, but when will you make your money back? Maybe it is advertising, people, a course, or even a lunch. Everything you spend comes at a cost. Don't make this mistake so many folks make in thinking the first $500 will pay you back. It doesn't work like that. ----------------------------- DIVE IN DEEPER & LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR NUMBERS
