Welcome!
You have just found the best online tool for small businesses. Decisions about how to manage your business should never be a guessing game. My purpose is to assist business owners and managers to increasing their profits and build their business for the future. I strive to achieve this through magazine articles, books, seminars,customized consulting services, and partnerships with other like minded businesses. I work with families and individuals whose livelihood depends on the results of the business. It’s an honor and a privilege to to work with and for businesses which serve their community. As a fourth generation small business owner and speaker I created Profits Plus to provide assistance to small business owners through a vast array of tools—calculators, magazine articles, books, seminars plus—all created with the experience and expertise I’ve gained from the past 30 years. I also work with manufacturers and wholesalers to help their staffs understand the complexity and challenges these small businesses face. Helping suppliers gain the knowledge to assist these small businesses allows the supplier to be a more valuable partner. As you strive for success you listen to experts speak, read an article or book they’ve written, talk with them one-on-one, always in search of proven results. You want someone who has "been there and done that."I can point you to proven results. Just ask me.

The May Small Business Advisory is titled "Planning for a successful accountant" and is appropriate for many with the April 15 tax deadline having passed.
Did you work with your accountant? Or, did you just give them a bunch of papers and wait to receive a completed tax return?
Successfully working with an accountant requires a partnership. This month's Small Business Advisory gives suggestions of how to make this happen in 2024.
Small Business
We see that many small business owners have too much of a focus on the "top line" of their income statement.
Increasing revenue is great, but it is not a cure all for any challenges your business is facing. And sometimes, incresing revenue can create a challenge.
Who is your customer? Some small businesses have no focus. Their customer is whoever calls or walks in the door.
And some small businesses have determined which customers, in sufficient numbers, they should spend their efforts to attract.
The article of the month shares an old Southern rhyming couplet about business; "The bertter you niche, the more you get rich."
Lean Startup by Eric Reis is our suggested book for May.
As the title suggests, the reader of the book would be someone that is starting their business. However, we see more value than just that.
Perhaps you have been in business for many years. We think this book could give insight to items, and methods, that a small business owner should think about with their business today.
