In 2019 my shop had its biggest year for revenue and made less profit than the year before. Here’s where the money went, and why a lot of owners don’t find out for two years.
Two owners work the same hours. One wants the hours back, one wants more from them. The fix starts in the same place: what one of your hours is worth in profit.
Your revenue numbers look good every week. Your profit shows up once a year, usually from the accountant. The gap between those two is where the growth goes.
Most owner-managed businesses are closer to running independently than they look from the inside. The One-Week Test shows exactly where the gaps are.
