Why exterior cleaning owners are profitable but still broke

Is your business growing while your personal bank account stays the same? Mike Michalowicz (author of Profit First) explains why your business profits might be sabotaging your personal wealth—and how to fix it. In this episode, we break down why most business owners are wired to spend every dollar they make, how the same woolly mammoth instinct that drives your business decisions is quietly wrecking your home finances, why 85% of businesses that owners plan to sell are never actually sellable, how to use the multiple-account system to take control without budgets or apps, and why allocating just 1% of every deposit to profit changes everything over time. If you're running a cleaning business, pulling in decent revenue, and still wondering where all the money goes at the end of the month, this one will hit home.
