Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine

I think you should read this book for one reason - Mike talks about things that he only could know from his own very difficult struggles running a business. this is in contrast to the endless other business books written by others who say nice things but leave you scratching your head at the end wondering what YOU should take action on. this book actually gives you tons of actionable steps. is the book perfect? no. Is there information here that you already know deep down you should be doing? probably. but he has admittedly done a very good job rewording what you probably already know you should be doing in a way that makes it fresh. a recommended read.

This book opens up that third eye and get you out of your comfort zone I really appreciate

Best business book that I have ever read really opened my eyes to areas to improve in my business accounting

While Mike had some good points, I didn't enjoy how often he swore and took God's name in vain. For a business book, I felt like this was unnecessarily offensive. Ultimately, that made me set the book down after listening to half of it. The other thing that I wasn't a huge fan of was that the book didn't get to tangible takeaways until three hours in. As an accountant, many of the topics were not new to me and I personally didn't get value until he a few hours in. However, if the language doesn't bother you, and you've got time to spare or aren't familiar with business, this would be a good book for you.

The author/narrator was a great idea his humor is actually as good too. This stuff is great, such a good way of looking at what a healthy running business should look like.

Best book ever!! Very insightful and educational. I love the authors' sense of humor, lol. You can truly tell the author care about eradicating entrepreneurial poverty. He really wants to help! You can feel his passion.

Recommended to everyone who runs a business or wants to. Concepts from this book apply to personal life and non entrepreneurs as well.

Fantastic!!

brilliant, listening for a second time and implementing in my business

Not only did I listen to it 3 times but I also practice profit first in my business and personal finances

excellent information

It's a good book of knowledge, but the amount of waffle is unbelievable. This books could be cut in half. I prefer books that are straight to the point, a bit of side tracking is okay, but not to this level! Bloody hell!

Hi Michael I am a small family business owner in Australia. Over the past few years my wife and I were trying to work out how we could retire and let the our children and staff take over the running of the business without us being a burden on the finances. We slowly implemented your profit first revelation in November 2019. It is now July 1st 2020 and we have put aside our entire weekly wage using your system. At the end of this month my wife and I are hitching on the caravan to the 4x4 and heading off on our around Australia adventure. We wish you, your family and your readers all the best for the future. Kind Regards Maurice

Hoping to start my own business and this will be my go to book. A must read for all business people.

I liked the concept of this book, give you insights on how to make your business to be a profitable business

The book gives you a very simple but powerful insight. I believe this is a must read for one in any stage of the entrepreneurial journey. The same elements of business when rearranged become powerful tools to validate and grow. Very impressive.

long winded but useful info

several begining chapters over repeatitions of how this book will change your life without discussing the concept. I think the book over markets itself
