Mastering the Bottom Line
Net profit is the definitive measure of a business's success. Unlike gross profit, which only considers production costs, net profit tells you what you actually get to keep. Improving this number often requires a balance between revenue growth and meticulous expense management.

The Formula for Success
Every dollar saved in expenses goes directly to your net profit. In contrast, every dollar of new revenue is subject to your variable costs and taxes before it reaches the bottom line.
