Your P&L Says Profit, So Why Cash Disappears In My Business

I get asked why cash disappears in my business more than almost any other question from home service owners. Sales go up. The bank account does not follow. That gap is what today's episode is all about. A few years back, I worked with an electrician who had just finished his best sales year ever. His profit and loss statement showed a real profit. His bank account told him something else. Once we separated his cash and found his hidden profit leaks, everything changed. He did not need to sell more. He just needed to keep more of what he already earned.   What You'll Learn: Why cash disappears in my business even when the P&L says I am profitable How contractor cash flow management differs from just reading your profit and loss report The one shift that ends home service cash flow problems even in a busy season Why more revenue is not more profit once job costs and taxes hit your account How to spot hidden profit leaks before they drain your bottom line How using Profit First in a home service business gives every dollar a job to do   Key Moments: 1:42 The Myth That Profit Means A Healthy Bank Account 5:27 What A Profit Plan Shows You What A P&L Cannot 7:33 Every Dollar Needs A Job To Do 10:24 The Electrician Who Grew Sales 30 Percent With Empty Pockets 15:45 The Hidden Profit Leak Behind Managing From Your P&L 17:14 Where 50 Thousand To 400 Thousand Often Leaks Out Each Year 21:09 A Free Live Workshop On August 26th If today's episode sounded familiar, I would love to help you find where your own cash is going.
