Bottom Line for Businesses? Don’t Sacrifice Profits for Growth, Manny Skevofilax

Filed in Podcasts, Previous Episodes on December 3, 2024

Anyone who wants to grow their business needs to keep making a profit in the equation. Steep growth and no profits as a long-term strategy is a myth. An eye on steady growth — and steady profits — ensures the business will thrive, and there are simple steps to execute, that anyone can follow.

Huge organizations (like Uber) with plenty of outside funding may be able to choose growth over profits while their investors have the patience to ride the wave. But for most businesses, that’s the wrong approach — and can shorten the lifespan of a business.

Entrepreneurs and bootstrappers can harness a simple methodology to support profits as well as growth.

As banker and business consultant Manny Skevofilax notes, it’s not explosive growth that makes a business, it’s steady growth along with steady profits.

He’s helped many enterprises chart a course for prioritizing both — with simple but powerful steps.
