33. Why Does Profit Matter?

Recently, I was talking to someone, and they asked me why profit mattered. 

I'll admit, was taken aback a bit. I felt like they were asking me why I needed to breath. It seemed so obvious to me.  

Businesses need profit to survive over the long-term. And business owners need profit if they want financial freedom or just to support their lifestyle.  
 
But profit is actually discussed very little in marketing you will see aimed at your business. Most strategists, business coaches, and consultants are focused on revenue.  Very few are discussing profit.

And profit, more than revenue, is what really matters in determining if your business is financially healthy.

So it's no wonder the question gets asked. If no one is really talking about, does it really matter?

Hell yeah!

Profit funds investments that help you scale your business. 

Profit creates generational wealth.

Profit provides money to invest in real estate.

Profit pays for college educations.

For private school for your special needs child.

It allows your spouse to retire. 

To pay off your parents' mortgage.

To take that 1 month trip to Europe you've dreamed of.

Profit helps create that life you dreamed of when you started your business.
