Last week we covered a lot of ground, including ‘rather than seek focus you should eliminate distractions’ as well what Trish the Dish said about being single, 

Speaking of her telling the table she has benefits if anybody needs a friend… 

My Drunk Aunt got an old TV on eBay. Here’s our conversation while I set it up for her: 

Me: It’s a little old school, but you’re ready to go. 

Drunk Aunt: *reading TV instruction manual* Thx. It’s a shame nothing is made in America anymore.

Me: What do you mean?

My Drunk Aunt: Look, this TV says ‘Built in Antenna.’ I don’t even know where that is.

Me: 

In other news from my BCS podcast… 

I often take ten kids to the park, it’s a blast for me. 

What one of the parents says he’ll do for his daughter:

1. Step in front of a bus.

2. Take a bu11et.

What the same parent has demonstrated he will not do for his daughter:

1. Watch her ride her bike.  

2. Practice softball so she can get better and not be the weakest player on the team. 

Gives me very little confidence in the whole bus / bu11et thing in the event it’s required. 

*Genuinely no judgment, but guessing you recognize this dynamic in this and other examples. 

Anyhoo…

Your one PROFIT ACCELERATION THING today is: 

‘Priorities’

The difference between a small company and a large profitable company is one word…

… priorities. 

If you read Warren Buffett’s annual letters, it’s simply a series of measurements.

My 4-day training on how to read financial statements as a business coach… is super step-by-step and dialed in on key measurements:

1) Trends (up or down… revenues, expenses etc.)

2) Relationships (how much is rent in comparison to revenues)

3) Comparables (what happened at the same time last week / month / quarter / year?)

Dozens of accountants have gone through my 4-day training and many have called it ‘MUST WATCH’ material. 

Here’s what Warren Buffett had to say on success: 

“The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say no to almost everything.”

Magic lies in knowing what to say yes to.

Priorities. 

Said differently: When to go for it on 4TH and 1.

You heard it here first.

Now, pick up the phone and go help someone.
