Also in this episode:  Profit Margins Are Critical: A good profit margin is typically 10 to 20% or higher. Watch Your Expenses: Even if you have a $500,000 business, high monthly expenses can leave you living paycheck to paycheck. Act Now: Don't assume that your financial situation will improve with time or larger numbers.  Know Your Numbers: Don't rely solely on bookkeepers or CPAs; take an active role in understanding your finances.
