Margins: the 80/20 of profitability
Working hard but not earning enough? Usually the problem is your margins, i.e. the difference between what you charge your customers and how much it costs you to deliver the service/product (excluding other business-running expenses like marketing).
This video explains in simple terms what margins are, how to calculate your margins, and how to improve them.

Don’t understand your bookkeeping/finance reports?
These reports are like the dashboard in your car; they tell you important things about the health of your business over time. It’s worth taking the time to analyse them.
I have prepared a few basic concepts videos on my podcast site that explain in simple terms how to spot hidden opportunities and red flags in your business.
If you want my help to analyse your reports, I offer a service called Hidden Profits Analysis. It includes a screen recording of my analysis (which you can also use to follow my process each month yourself) plus a consult call to go over your questions from the recording and about your numbers. If I can’t find any hidden profits for you, or you’re not happy with the service, I’ll refund your money.
