Show Objectives INTRODUCTION Why profit first? I have many friends, colleagues, clients who are always thinking in terms of growing their small businesses, now nothing wrong with that, but they many times ignore the bottom line i.e. the profits. Their belief is the larger we grow, the faster we grow the profits will come in. I am of the belief that you need to set your target of profit first and once you have reached that target then yes go for expansion. See money is the medium by which we run our businesses and our lives, even if we open up a Not for Profit business it cannot be run without funds. Any social institution, well all require money. Is Profitability or Growth More Important for a Business? To be successful and remain in business, both profitability and growth are important and necessary for a company to survive and remain attractive to investors and analysts. Profitability is, of course, critical to a company's existence, but growth is crucial to long-term survival. So think in those terms.

When should a small business focus on growth over profits? PREVIOUS SHOW - FAILURE - YOUR FRIEND OR FOE All of us have experienced failure in our lives, professional or personal. Have failures led you to the path of self-destruction or have you been able to leverage failure as stepping stones to success? Why is it that some people reach the pinnacle of success while others just go down? Many call it luck and say those are lucky people. When we delve deep into the stories of those who have succeeded we find they have failed more than an average person. Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. If you want to learn about somebody who didn’t quit, look no further. He could have quit many times – but he didn’t and because he didn’t quit, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country. Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up.
