Show Summary
Entrepreneur Stephen Christopher joins Mike Michalowicz, Chris Curran and Kristina Bolduc for Episode 55 of the Profit First Podcast! Stephen shares his experience with implementing Profit First on his business.
Our Guest
Stephen Christopher is the founder of Seequs Marketing Technologies, a web marketing firm designed to help business owners achieve results they never thought possible. Before starting Seequs, Stephen founded and guided several other businesses to great success, but it was his mortgage company that ultimately changed the course of his entrepreneurial journey. With the crash of the mortgage industry in 2008, Stephen learned what it’s like to go from profitable to over $100,000 in debt…literally overnight. This failure imparted more wisdom about business than any school or program could ever teach him. Since then, Stephen has evolved into a devoted student of personal and business development. He finds the most joy in helping business owners learn how to create happiness in their life and wealth in their companies. Stephen is becoming an influential public speaker in the personal development community, launching a podcast for business owners (Business Revolution) in December of 2015, and continuing to create an amazing culture and results for clients at Seequs.
Show Quotes
Revenue doesn’t matter, Profit does!
Set up your bank accounts and your percentages… it’s that simple to get profit first started. The first month or two may be a transition period, but once you see your profit in your account you really start to believe in the concept. If you find something is not working, keep changing it until you find what works best for you.
Consider setting up a company wide personal development account – put away the money to cover your company events and travel! Also consider setting up a technology account… what if someone’s computer dies? Now you have the money set aside to replace it. This creates a safety net.
You will notice yourself starting to cut down spending on the things you don’t really need, because you’d much rather have that money in a profit account.
When it comes to your website, don’t waste your money on trying to get more traffic to your site (for example, SEO). Your goal is to make your website the most relevant website and the best resource possible for your field. Make sure you’re consistent online and keep your content updated. That will get your business more recognized.
