The word of the day is Profitability

 
Profitability, The state or condition of yielding a financial profit or gain. It is often measured by price to earnings ratio.” This definition comes from businessdictionary.com. When you break the word down you have ‘profit’ and ‘ability, your business’s ‘ability’ to make a ‘profit’.
 
What does profitability mean to you? What is should mean is that you are able to conduct your business in such a way that you cover your expenses, cost of goods sold and after you pay yourself you still have money left to reinvest in your business. Sound complicated, confusing, impossible maybe! Maybe you just don’t care. In which case you can stop reading now and go on to doing something else.

Now, if you are still reading you must be interested in finding ways to improve your business’s profitability.

  • What are your costs of goods sold, your general expenses, what are your ratios for cost of goods against sales, or expenses against sales?
  • What should they be?
  • How do you get them to where they should be? Are you paying yourself? Should you be?
  • Are there expense leaks? How do you stop cash from leaking out? 
  • Paying yourself? How much? Are you making a living? 
  • Is your pricing appropriate for your business, your quality, your desired growth? 
  • Who is your client? What are their expectations? Are you priced to attract your target demographic?
  • What goals do you have for your financial future and that of your business? 
  • How do you assure profitability? And the list goes on…
