#157: Inventory Genius Status

You become exceptionally intelligent when you make the conscious decision to focus on the right things and learn what it really takes to be in control of your inventory, profits, and business.

#154: Inventory Genius: Focus on Net Profit
Net profit is one of the main focus areas that make up what it takes to become an Inventory Genius. And while you'll often hear business owners noting, focusing on and bragging about their top line number (their gross profit), the net profit is the real litmus of whether or not a business is thriving (or even surviving!).
Net profit is what you are left with at the end of the day. It's what remains after the cost of goods sold is subtracted from the sales, and the expenses are all paid. The net profit is a key part of business, but it's also a number I seldom hear people brag about. With the Inventory Genius Method, I'm working to change that. We need to have a much stronger focus on the net profit of our businesses. Tune in to learn more...

You may be saying, “I am growing! I am scaling. I need all these things.” And you do. However, if you don’t focus on the right things before you scale, if you don’t manage your inventory and learn to read the numbers, you will scale your problems right along with your sales.
