Profit Factors, or P-Factors, as we call them, like People, Promotion and Pricing, as well as the rest, are absolutely critical to get right in order to profit massively.

“Most people in business know their craft or their particular product. The problem is, that having only that skill set makes you a great Worker instead of Business Owner. Not having the proper mindset, financial skills or promotional skills, limits your ability to find, sell, up-sell and keep any potential customers on a pro-active, ongoing basis.”
