Review Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine
by MIKE MICHALOWICZ
Description
Profit First made waves in the finance books section as it presents a revolutionary idea about business profit. His famous “Profit-first” system was adopted by hundreds of thousands of companies worldwide. His idea of taking the profit out of the equation in business financial management as a key to be permanently profitable is what the book primarily discusses.
The book emphasizes that businesses that have sustained profitability have a great chance of achieving long-term growth. Michalowicz presents the unconventional idea in business management with the use of case studies, practical insights, and a bit of his humor. This makes the book more interesting to read for entrepreneurs who dream of turning their businesses from cash-eating assets to money-making investments.
