Profit isn’t a dirty word—it’s the foundation of freedom, impact, and sustainable growth. In this episode, we break down why profit must be your number one focus if you want to scale your business, create long-term wealth, and truly help more people.

You’ll discover:

• Why profit and purpose are not opposites—they fuel each other.
• How to shift your mindset to see profit as opportunity, not greed.
• The “profit-first” model that unlocks leverage through finance and property.
• How to implement 1% improvements across your people, pricing, systems, and KPIs.
• The simple three-times model that every service business should use.

This episode is packed with real strategies, frameworks, and mindset shifts that we’ve used personally and with clients to turn struggling businesses into scalable, profitable, and purposeful enterprises.
