Is it always all about the profit?  We are big fans of profit, and the reality is that there are some things that you can do that will can always bring you more.  But should you?  Is there a line?  

The reality is you will have something in you / in your business that has huge value to someone that you are not "selling" or worse still giving away for free.  And more often than not it will have a massive profit margin.

It may or may not be something that you actually sell, it may be who you know, what you don't use, or the people that you have sold to - or not - but you have something that other people don't have and something really want - and they would pay you for.

Your assets should not stay unsqueezed...

As Bananarama (and those lovely chaps from the Fun Boy Three) once told us, it's not what you do it's the way that you do it.  Do you seek out the issues in your business? 

The reality is, it's your processes that make - or lose you money.  And because there are so many good retail processes out there if people can buy what you sell from someone in a way that is easier, less frustrating, quicker (and a load of other adjectives) they just will.
