Jumpstart 2026 with the 12 months of Profit

Succeeding into succession requires money-profit. Let’s kick off the year with more in our pockets! It’s January (almost the end, actually) and like you, I’ve been reflecting, prioritizing, and planning. At the end of the queries, pondering, and scrolling, it always circles back to the one thing… cash flow. What is cash flow? It’s what you do with profit. How do you get more of it? Earn more profit. Yep, there is that word again: profit. To that end, I want more and so do you. There are 12 steps in this program (no, it’s not AA, but hey, they know what they are doing.) We are going on this 12 month journey together as we dive into the 12 key elements to accelerate profit. Lowering costs – stopping the leaks. Here is what I did in January to increase my profit for 2026: This exercise was eye opening to say the least! I hope you found ways to simplify and get a hold of expenses. Reducing costs is the most impactful action you can take in both your business and personal life. The value of a business is directly related to Discretionary Earnings, so less expenses and more profit mean high valuation. AND, by quieting the noise, temptations are reduced. Less temptations – more focus. You can focus on what is most important: Profit, People, Process, and Purpose. My book details more cost cutting opportunities that effect Cost Of Goods Sold and margin impacts. Check out Chapter 1 for more. We will tackle the next step, Market Dominating Position in February.
