Why read it?

1 author picked Profit First as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Profit First is a banking system that accounts for the inevitable human error of “ooh, there is money in my account, I can afford that”.

This is a must read for self-employed and small business owners, and a solid read for personal finances too!
