Mike Michalowicz: Profit First A Simple System to Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine (2014, Obsidian Press)

Review of 'Profit First A Simple System to Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

Decent (but overly-complicated) advice for financial framework for a small business, hidden among 200 pages of weapons-grade cringe.

Like Rich Dad Poor Dad, Profit First teaches the "pay yourself first" strategy. Also like Rich Dad Poor Dad, most of the book is complete fluff around a couple of decent ideas, and most fluff serves to upsell the author's business or hype you up for simple concepts. Spoiler: The author is going to tell you to open up 7 new bank accounts, amid fart jokes and requests to send him selfies on Twitter.

If there were ever a book to justify Blinkist, this would be it.
