Profit First for Creatives: Building Systems for Financial Growth With Christian Brim

from Systems Simplified · host Christian Brim, Adi Klevit

Christian Brim is the CEO of CORE Group, an outsourced bookkeeping and tax preparation services firm. With over 25 years of experience in business finance, he helps business owners increase profits through financial planning and reporting, business valuation, and budgeting. Christian is also the author of Profit First for Creatives. In this episode: Creative entrepreneurs often separate profit and passion, believing they can't pursue what they love while making money. How can creatives change their mindset around money to pursue their endeavors? According to creative finance master Christian Brim, creative entrepreneurs who view passion and profit as mutually exclusive often underprice their services. Profit is essential to a sustainable business, so rather than structuring pricing based on costs and revenue, Christian recommends identifying the value you deliver to customers with your products or services. You can accomplish this by obtaining feedback from customers on how your products or services benefit them. This allows you to create a business model that rewards you for your services. Tune in to this episode of Systems Simplified as Adi Klevit hosts Christian Brim, the CEO of CORE Group, to discuss how creatives can adopt a Profit First mindset to price their services. Christian shares his value pricing system for creatives, how to reevaluate your pricing, and why he adopted Mike Michalowicz's Profit First process.
