What is the Truly Profit Plan?
The Truly Profit Plan does a number of things for business owners but the aspects our clients find the most helpful include:
- Easy & realistic budgeting
- Ensuring business owners get paid
- Scalable
These are 3 things the Truly Profit Plan helps establish. Coincidentally, it is also the 3 things first time entrepreneurs often struggle with.
How Does it Work?
When creating a budget, most methods begin by laying out your expenses. Then you calculate how much you need to make based on those expenses. The Truly Profit Plan reverses this and calculates how much you are allowed to spend on expenses – after you have paid yourself.
Traditional Budgeting:
Income – Expenses = Profit
Truly Profit Plan:
Income – Profit = Expenses
By flipping the script, you ensure your business is always profitable and gives you a budgeted amount to spend on your expenses.
Ok, here’s how it works: You take your total income for a set period, and break it out into 4 categories which has a percentage assigned to it:
- Owner’s Pay – 35%
- Taxes – 15%
- Profit – 15%
- Expenses – 35%
For example, let’s say you made $1,000 in a period. You would calculate:
- Owner’s Pay – $350
- Taxes – $150
- Profit – $150
- Expenses – $350
At the end of the period, you would have some pay for yourself, a reserve for tax expenses, a bit of profit to save, and a budgeted expense amount of $350.
Controlling Your Expenses
Part of the reason this method is so easy to understand is because it is very straightforward. There is no forecasting or disappointment at the end of the month when you cannot pay yourself. Instead, you are given a limit on how much you can spend with your expenses.
Let’s refer to our previous example. Assuming you made $1,000 in a period, you have a budgeted amount of $350 in expenses for your upcoming period. Add up all of your expected expenses and if you do not foresee yourself making the budgeted amount, it is time to do some cuts.
It may hurt and make your processes a bit more complicated, but it is worth the financial peace of mind.
Scalable
The last important point to make is how easy it is to use the Truly Profit Plan as you scale your business. Even if there is an economic downturn and you lose some income, the Truly Profit Plan allows you to easily watch your 4 categories and adjust. You can scale month by month, which is even more reassuring for new businesses when your income is more unpredictable.
