You Are Not an ATM
Let’s get one thing straight: your business is not a bottomless pit for personal spending. Too often, SMB owners treat their bank accounts like ATMs—dispensing cash on impulse until there’s nothing left for growth, innovation, or even living well. And it’s not just the company’s funds at risk; if you’re constantly pouring personal money into your business, you’re essentially funding a money pit. It’s time to flip the script and adopt a Profit First mentality.
Profit First: Putting Profit Before Panic
Traditional thinking says, “Grow first, then worry about profit later.” But waiting until the end of the month—or year—to see if you’ve made any profit is like hoping for rain in a drought. The Profit First approach flips that equation: sales – profit = expenses. By taking profit out of the equation first, you set aside funds that ensure your business stays healthy even in lean times.
This isn’t just accounting jargon—it’s a real mindset shift that puts you in control of your finances rather than letting your spending dictate your future. When you’re forced to inject personal funds into the business on a regular basis, it’s a clear sign that your spending is out of control. Adopting Profit First helps ensure that you’re no longer the ATM for your business or your own backup plan.
How to Build a Profit-First Business
Inspired by proven strategies and the behavioral insights behind Profit First, here are some actionable steps and examples to help you create a business that thrives without bleeding your personal savings dry:
1. Bucket Your Cash Flow
Instead of lumping all revenue into one account and then scrambling to cover expenses, split it into dedicated “buckets”:
Profit Bucket: Allocate a predetermined percentage right off the top. Think of it as paying yourself first.
Owner’s Pay: Ensure you’re compensated fairly so you’re not forced to cover gaps with your own funds.
Tax Savings: Avoid those nasty surprises by setting aside funds for taxes.
Operating Expenses (OpEx): Only spend what remains after securing profit and essential costs.
This method protects your profit and forces discipline in your spending habits. It helps prevent that all-too-common scenario where you end up having to top up your business account from your personal wallet—because every dollar is already accounted for.
2. Automate for Consistency
If you’re serious about Profit First, automate your money transfers. Every time revenue comes in, have pre-set transfers direct funds to each bucket. Automation removes the temptation and human error from the process, ensuring that you aren’t inadvertently dipping into funds that should be reserved. This is your financial autopilot—a way to keep your business and personal finances separate and secure.
3. Trim the Fat
Profit First isn’t about pinching pennies at the expense of growth. Instead, it’s about eliminating wasteful spending. Regularly review your expenses—if an expense isn’t contributing to growth or adding value, cut it out. This practice not only boosts your profit margin but also reduces the need to inject extra personal funds into your business to cover unnecessary costs.
4. Invest in Your Future
Being profit-first means making room for the future. Consider these examples:
The Boutique Bakery: Instead of reinvesting every extra penny into immediate upgrades (or fueling an endless caffeine habit), the owner sets aside profit to fund a yearly retreat. The result? A happier, more creative team that bakes up innovative treats—all without the owner having to dip into personal savings.
The Tech Startup: Founders allocate a portion of revenue for quarterly hackathons. This fun yet focused initiative keeps the team engaged while sparking fresh ideas that drive the business forward, ensuring that growth isn’t at the cost of personal financial stability.
The Local Consultancy: By automating profit allocations, this business avoided the burnout—and the constant need for personal injections of cash. With clear funds for professional development and necessary investments, they improved client service and achieved steady growth.
The Fine Line: Going All In vs. Dying on the Vine
It’s a delicate balancing act. On one hand, you want to commit fully to your business. On the other hand, overcommitting can lead to burnout and force you to keep reaching into your personal funds. The Profit First method offers a way to balance passion with prudence—invest in growth while still safeguarding your future. It ensures every dollar has a purpose: fueling innovation, securing your personal well-being, or simply being a cushion against unexpected downturns.
Profit First: More Than an Accounting Method—It’s a Lifestyle
At its core, Profit First is about adopting a mindset that prioritizes long-term success over short-term fixes. It’s the difference between letting your business drain your energy—and your personal bank account—and using your business to fuel a rich, fulfilling life. You’re not here to be an endless ATM for your own whims; you’re here to build a legacy that lasts.
