Are you chasing sales but still struggling to see money in the bank? In this episode of The Business Behind Your Business Podcast, financial strategist and Profit First professional Pam Jordan explains why focusing on revenue alone is a dangerous trap for business owners. Instead, she shows you how to get radically intentional about profit—because at the end of the day, it’s not what you make, it’s what you keep.
Dive into the crucial differences between sales, profit, and cash flow, and why so many business owners confuse them. You’ll discover how to shift your mindset and your numbers so your business works for you, not against you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why sales don’t equal success—and how to avoid being “rich but broke”
- The critical difference between profit and cash flow (and why both matter)
- How to price your products and services based on real profitability
- Practical steps to apply the Profit First method in your business
- Why knowing your numbers is essential to scaling, exiting, or building legacy wealth
- How to stay profitable even when external challenges force you to pivot
