Big Picture Thoughts

Mike's core idea here is dynamite. He does an admirable job of trying to create a guidebook for all businesses, but I think that's an impossible task. Still, some good benchmarks and great principles I still use today. Too wordy IMO.

The Main Ideas

  1. Build profit into your business by paying yourself first, as a shareholder (and as an employee).
  2. Cash in a business follows Parkinson's Law: if you don't pay yourself, you'll spend it.
  3. You can build profit into your business with Mike's cash flow system & some discipline.
