    277: Building a business with high profit, not just revenue

    In this episode, Tina Tower dives into the vital difference between revenue and profit in the world of online business. She emphasizes the importance of focusing on profit to ensure the sustainability and longevity of a business rather than being solely impressed by high revenue figures. Tina shares her favorite saying: "Revenue is for vanity, profit is for sanity, and cash flow is reality," highlighting her belief that cash flow is crucial for a business's health. Key Takeaways: 1. Importance of Profit:    - Profit creates sustainability and freedom in a business.    - High revenue with low profit can lead to burnout and resentment. 2. Common Profit Killers:    - Hiring too soon or having bloated expenses.    - Spending on marketing without seeing a return on investment (ROI).    - Underpricing or overpricing offers. 3. Strategies for Profit:    - Set a profit goal before setting a revenue goal.    - Implement a profit-first accounting strategy.    - Create high profit offers and monitor your margins. 4. Mindset and Psychology:    - Bigger isn't always better.    - Having a financial buffer provides a psychological advantage and allows for better decision-making. Tina also encourages listeners to focus on creating a business that aligns with their personal goals and provides the life they want, reminding them not to judge their success by others' standards.

    272: Embracing Intuition in Business: Brigit Esselmont's Entrepreneurial Insights

    In the latest episode of the "Her Empire Builder Show," I had the privilege of speaking with the incredible Brigit Esselmont, who transitioned from a passion for tarot reading to building a multi-million dollar business. Her journey is filled with valuable insights for entrepreneurs at any stage. 🎧 Tune in for an enriching conversation about blending intuition with entrepreneurship, managing growth, and redefining success. Here are 3 key takeaways that could change the way you approach your business: Intuitive Decision-Making: Brigit emphasizes the importance of aligning business goals with personal values and using intuition over external metrics to make critical decisions. True success is about personal alignment, not just societal expectations. Managing Growth and Teams: Building a business doesn't mean expanding for expansion's sake. Brigit's experience of reducing her team from 30 to 15 members to maintain effectiveness and align with her vision underlines the importance of sustainable growth. Redefining Success: Traditional metrics like revenue aren't the be-all and end-all. For Brigit, profit and personal satisfaction hold more weight. Tina Tower also shares her journey of seeking genuine contentment over external validation, opting for a simpler lifestyle that enables personal happiness and freedom. If you're looking for inspirational and practical advice on entrepreneurship, teamwork, and personal growth, this episode is a must-listen. 🎙️✨ 📚 Be sure to check out Brigit's new book, "Intuitive Manifestation," for deeper insights on setting aligned goals and becoming your future self.
