How to uncover the profits that lie hidden in your business

And have the income and freedom to live the life you desire.

25 year veteran of transforming small business profits reveals 27 practical steps you can take to uncover the profit leaks in your business and dramatically improve your profits.

Does lack of profitability in your business cause you to feel:

  • Angry that you are working so hard for so little return;
  • Helpless because you don't know where to start to fix the problem;
  • Frustrated because you know that you could do better in your business;
  • Discouraged because you seem to be going nowhere in your business, and your life;
  • Powerless because you can't see the way forward.
A little knowledge goes a long way in improving your business. In Picture the Profit - 27 Practical Tips you will learn:
  • How profit leaks can drain hidden profits occur without you knowing;
  • How to make your marketing pump out profitable customers
  • Why understanding value is fundamental to setting your prices
  • How and what to measure in your business
  • How to fine tune your entire operation,


So that your business finally begins to pump out the juicy profits you are owed,

You know you're working far too hard for too little money.

Even though you're smart and competent... even though you know your trade better than just about anyone else in your market... even though you're pushing yourself HARD from "dawn to dusk" (six or even seven days a week) to plough through the ever expanding burdens and responsibilities demanded of you - even with all this, your business is taking WAY more from you than it's giving back!

How do I know?

Because I'm a small business owner myself, and I've been where you are.

And also because I've helped hundreds of other small business owners who began with big dreams, but through no fault of their own, found themselves trapped - prisoners of businesses that had deteriorated into nothing more than glorified jobs. Jobs that (when the horrendously long hours were factored in) paid incredibly poorly.

With no personal life to speak of, family life in disarray, working like dogs - slaves to employees and suppliers and governments demanding their "pound of flesh" - I often found these heroes of the economy pushing themselves to the breaking point.

In the cruellest of ironies, the very people who had bravely taken all of the risk and all of the sacrifice to bring the best products and services to their communities were being ground into the dirt.

Sometimes they were on the verge of being forced to give up on their dreams of financial independence... forced to give up on everything they'd worked so hard for... and dangerously close to the ego-crushing humiliation of having to go back to work for somebody else - THE ULTIMATE DEFEAT!

The purpose of my book is to introduce you to 27 simple, low cost, marketing and management "tweaks" that will prevent you from suffering this fate.


These powerful transformational strategies are detailed in my Picture the Profit - 27 Practical Tips e-book - the ultimate small business owner's guide to financial security and independence.

They hold the key to building a thriving, highly lucrative small business and an enviable lifestyle - full of freedom and harmony and personal satisfaction.

With even a few of these game-changing strategies implemented in your business, you can stop worrying about where payroll is coming from each month. And you can start happily expanding your wealth and peace of mind with each passing day.

When I started to assist small business owners more than twenty years ago I was determined that I should do everything in my power to assist them avoid the pain, anger and frustration that I went through. I was determined to learn as much as possible about what does work for small business, and what does not.

I learnt how to give them the skills they needed were in ensure they were heading in the right direction, to market their products and services effectively to ensure they had the right customers, to develop the right systems and procedures to ensure their businesses run smoothly, and to measure the things which would tell them where the profits were hidden in their businesses.

The 27 Tips set out in my Picture the Profits e-book - the ultimate small business owner's guide to financial security and independence based on the lessons I have learnt whilst working with these small businesses. They are practical tips, because they are the ones that do work.

From cash drains to profit machine

In Picture the Profit I show you just how to implement these strategies to uncover the hidden profits in your business and plug the leaks draining those profits away.

Your markets may differ, the skills required may differ but the fundamentals of successful small businesses remain the same, no matter what the experience and expertise of the owners.

It's not your fault!

You've probably never had the opportunity to acquire the information you need to gain these skills.

When you were setting out to get your trade or technical skills you can't have been expected to know the other skills you may need. I bet running your own business was the last thing on your mind, and the last thing the instructors who taught you those skills would have even talked about.

That's Ok and quite understandable. Now you do have the chance to take that next step and go well beyond what those instructors were thinking and teaching.

You have spent many years building on those skills that let you set up this business. And that didn't give you the time to acquire the skills that are needed to take it to the next step. They are not beyond you.

This is not teaching you your business. It's about your profits, not your trade.

You have a choice

You can take a few moments to read every word of this important profit improvement e-book, follow its advice, and experience a different world. Imagine running a highly profitable business, one in which you have the profits to give you choices; choices about time, choices about leisure, choices about the future.

Or see yourself in five years time still stuck on an endless treadmill, trapped in your business, struggling with cash, struggling with time, and without the freedom to live the life you desire.
