This Week’s Profit First Club Newsletter Estimated Read Time: 4 mins   Hi everyone, Stephen here! We’re just past halfway through 2025, and I want to revisit something I shared at the start of the year: how to make 2025 your best year ever. This isn’t theory—it’s lived experience. We’re currently having our best year ever at We Are Gro Accountants, and I believe you can do the same. This newsletter is a timely reminder: you don’t need a massive revenue spike to transform your business. In fact, most business owners chasing “just a little more” revenue often end up spending more, not earning more. Stop Chasing Revenue, Start Building a Better Model Too many business owners think: “If I just bring in an extra £5k/month, then I can breathe.” But what usually happens? Expenses rise to match. This is why Profit First is so powerful. It's not about doing more—it's about keeping more. Instead of hoping for a record-breaking month, build a model where even your average month is profitable. That starts with one simple shift: Reverse Engineer Your Ideal Income Let’s say you want to pay yourself £4,000 a month. Write it down.Now ask: What needs to happen for my business to still work on the remaining £6,000 (if your turnover is £10k/month)? What would that look like? This is how real, sustainable profit is built—not from hope, but from intention. Make it work on paper first. Then bring it to life. ️ Taking a Month Off? Yes, It’s Possible In 11 days, I’m heading to Florida for a full month—not just a quick break. Why? Because we’ve built the business to work without me. I don’t share this to show off—I want to inspire you. Even if you're a one-person business, you can design something that allows you to step away. It starts with the same question: What do you want your life to look like, and how can your business support that? What Happens When You Stop Playing Small? I recently shared with a prospect some powerful Profit First transformations: A multi-million-pound business that made its first profit in 7 years—within 3 months of implementing Profit First A business owner who shaved off £200k in expenses and paid off £100k in debt Another who tripled their profit over two years and got off the tools completely All of them began with the same step: stop chasing revenue, and start chasing a better model. What’s Coming Next? When I return, I’ll be sharing more about my VIP Coaching Programme. This will go beyond accounting and help you break through your ceiling—personally and professionally. If you're ready to think bigger and want to work with me 1:1, stay tuned. Until then, I hope you take time off before summer ends, enjoy life, and continue to build your business with intention.
