Break free from the 'time for money' treadmill and build a business that works for you!

Too many business owners work too many hours for not enough pay. They don't have time or the energy for family, friends, hobbies and relaxing. If they don't work, they don't get paid. You may think you own a business but, if these points ring true for you, chances are you actually own a job.

In The Profits Principles Steven Briginshaw draws on his vast experience as a chartered accountant and business mentor to show exactly what you need to do to...

  • Build a dream business around your passion
  • Move from owning a job to owning a business that works for you
  • Reclaim your time and energy to get your life, relationships and health working in harmony
  • Set your business on course to provide you with the life you've always wanted
  • Wake up each morning with motivation and energy for the day ahead

    Steven Briginshaw, an award winning entrepreneur, has been helping business owners take control of their business since 2000. Through his work with hundreds of clients, Steven noticed that the problems, challenges and barriers to building a dream business are the same for all of us. This book was written to empower, educate and encourage those business owners who want to build an extraordinary business around doing what they love.

Steven Briginshaw is an Award Winning Entrepreneur, International Bestselling Author and Founder and COO of Clarity - https://Clarity-hq.com

Sadly only 4 in 10 businesses survive 5 years often with running out of cash being the reason businesses fail. However, running out of cash is a symptom of the business failing not the cause. The cause is not having a strategy and plan of action and understanding how the business is performing against that strategy and plan. But also having someone in their corner who understands their numbers and can hold them accountable. And their accountant is best placed to do this.

Steven believes that if business owners had more clarity about their numbers they’d make better decisions resulting in a better business. Which leads to a better life for the owner, their family and team. Which then also leads to contributing towards creating a better world.

That’s what Clarity does by helping the accountant and their team to better help their clients we all create a better business, better life and better world.

Steven’s passionate about helping small business owners build their ideal business and create their definition of success.

Steven realised there are other ways to build your ideal business and lifestyle while making a difference. His book 'The Profits Principles™ – The Practical Guide to Building an Extraordinary Business Around Doing What You Love' is a business owner’s companion to actually owning a business, rather than a job, doing what you love and making a difference in the world.

I loved this book! I'm trying to follow it step by step with my team. It's amazing how you can replace the way you look at your business by a change of mindset like Steven B. is telling in his book: going from owning a job, to owning a business.

I can see how my teammates are starting to feel changes as well with few little things that we are applying from this book, starting with the creation of our Dream Map.
"- If you had a magic wand that could do anything instantly, what would you use it for?
- What do you want to be known for?
- If you had all the time in the world, what would you do?
- If you had all the money in the world, what would you have?"

Just answering these first questions and making a vision map with pictures, already makes me waking up every morning more motivated than before.

I highly recommend it for anyone owning a business that wish to work less, have more profits and live a happier life doing what you love the most!!

Finally, an easy-to-digest book for busy entrepreneurs with lots of great exercises to get them in the right mental space for each lesson. The tone is casual and friendly, yet professional - it feels like a colleague is speaking with you, showing you the ropes, step-by-step. Steven covers the soft skills as well as the more technical numbers area, which is GREAT, as many entrepreneurs not in the field, like myself, lack a proficient understanding of.

Highly recommend this great "handbook" for building your business the right way, from the inside-out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic handbook for any business owner!
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2016
I read this book from cover to cover and then went back and read it again. It's just brilliant!

I love the anecdotal style of Steven Briginshaw and throughout the book found myself thinking "I know exactly what he means" and "Yes, I've experienced that too." I felt like Steven was just talking to me and that he had written this book solely for my needs.

I've spent some time thinking about where my business and I would be if this book had been around when I first set up. But then whilst reading it realized there was no point dwelling on the past. Throughout this book, Steven has given me the means to take my business above and beyond my expectations and turn it into one that I really love and that lets me live the life I want.

For me, the chapter that really hit home was “Your Mindset.” It’s not very often that we get the opportunity to (or even want to) take a long, hard look at our behavior - it’s not the easiest thing to do but for me is actually the most important, and the content really resonated.

To me, the beauty of this book is that I can now dip in and out of it as the need arises. It really is the business owners handbook and a must for anyone wanting to run a more successful and profitable business and enjoy life too!

5.0 out of 5 stars I Wish I Had this Book 5 Years Ago (But Glad I've Found it Now!)
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2016
This is the first book I've read for people (like me) who believe that you should love the work you do and that your business should be an integral part of your happiness. It combines some of the best lessons from my favorite business, marketing and personal development books with the author's unique and obvious passion for teaching people to understand the simple numbers behind their businesses, so they can make the decisions that will get them to their goals in life. The result is a clear structure for you to follow with exercises and questions to guide you through each step of the PROFITS process. I'm 5 years into being a business owners and, having implemented just a fraction of what is in this book over those 5 years, I know it would have given me a massive head start (and definitely save me a lot of stress!) when leaving my job and starting my business back then. But reading it right now has re-inspired me to make my business into something that will allow me to achieve my dreams and live the life I set out to when I quit my job. Highly recommended to anyone considering starting a business or with an existing business that isn't giving them the life they want. Thank you Steven Briginshaw!

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterfully crafted, beautiful work of business art!
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2016
Steven takes the whole idea of business and turns it on its head. He shows you how to work on your business instead of working "in" your business. That whole mantra of owning a job vs doing something you love/enjoy. Or as cliche as it is, "do something you love and you'll never work a day in your life".

Steven takes the complex side of business and numbers, and practically breaks it down for you. He makes it digestible and easy to follow. It's almost as if he's giving you to cheat sheet and shortcuts you need to profit in your business and make a difference in the process :-)

(caveat: hard work still required)

I'm not sure about the other readers, but I got goosebumps a few times reading this.

You can tell he practice what he preaches and his passion jumps out with his writing ! If you're running a business, own a business, or just starting out (or thinking of starting) this is the book for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it!
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2016
Oh My Gosh!!! I love this book...currently I am working my passion, a private chef and instructor. My strengths are being creative and communicative, but unfortunately the practical side of growing of my business gets a bit fuzzy for me. Steven has beautifully validated for me that doing what I love is not crazy or selfish, actually it is truly important and fulfilling...and he has filled in a few gaps for me where I was stuck in matching my financial needs/growth to my creative goals. He writes in such a beautiful way, providing step by step instruction that even someone like me can understand and follow, while infusing his passion for helping small business owners excel... I am so excited to implement some of these principles to my already flourishing business! Steven Briginshaw is truly a bright light and voice in the growing population of entrepreneurs and small businesses, yes we can love our work and be profitable too!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 7, 2021

Loved this book. I'm an accountant, so some of the ideas mentioned in it were very familiar but it is the simple to understand way that it is presented that makes the difference. Even though I know a lot of it, sometimes you just get so busy doing day to day work that you forget to do these things.
The first half of the book is about more personal development topics but also includes the need to find your niche - you can't be what every customer needs, much the same as you can't be everyone's friend, so you need to find the customers and employees (and friends) that you click with and then you are halfway there to success already. The second half is the familiar financial part but all presented so logically.
This is a book that I plan to give to my favourite clients as I think that it will really help them and also motivate them to keep hanging in there!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, insightful and inspirational guide to using the numbers in your business right.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 6, 2016

I am a numbers person and this book is a true inspiration when it comes to different ways of understanding what your business is and what it could be by looking at key numbers in your accounts. I particularly enjoyed the part about planning the growth in my business based on the exit goals.

Going though the book you do not only get new ideas how you should improve your business numbers but you also look much deeper to the level of what kind of company you are building - what stands behind your personal motivations and what values is it built on. This content resonated with me quite deeply especially that though the book you also get to know the author and his story.

I definitely recommend this book to those who start at the moment and those who got to a position where business runs but does not grow - there are a great number of practical ideas that one can test in practise. Also - I strongly recommend the book to those who are not numbers people becasue this book will show you how critical that element of the business is and how important it is to have someone in your business to understand it well.
