  • wwwTopic: The Mindset of the Profitable Entrepreneur: Why Revenue Isn’t Enough

    What if growing your revenue is actually hurting your profit?

    Join me on November 5 (10AM MST) for a LinkedIn Live conversation with Tom Birchall, Profitability Coach, founder of Mavericks Business Academy, and host of The Profitable Maverick podcast.

    Tom brings 40+ years of experience building and scaling businesses (including one to $25M in revenue) — and he’s helping entrepreneurs rethink the way they grow.

    We’ll dive into,

    • Why profits stay flat even as revenue grows

    • The mindset shifts that separate hustlers from healthy business owners

    • What early-stage founders need to get right from day one

    • How to uncover (and stop) profit leaks

    Whether you're just starting or scaling fast, this conversation will challenge the way you think about growth — and give you tools to build a business that actually pays you back.
