Rule 1: Revenue solves problems.
Every working day must include at least one activity that can directly generate revenue (prospecting, sales calls, proposals, or follow-ups).
Rule 2: Profit is not spending money.
Never assume the money in the bank is yours to spend. Every rupee has a job.
Rule 3: Pay yourself last.
First cover taxes, business expenses, and debt obligations. Increase your personal income only as the business becomes consistently profitable.
Rule 4: Keep fixed expenses low.
Before buying any software, tool, or subscription, ask:
“Will this help me acquire clients, retain clients, or deliver better results within the next 90 days?”
If the answer is no, don’t buy it.
Rule 5: Every client must be profitable.
Don’t compete by being the cheapest. Price your services so you can deliver excellent results and still make a healthy margin.
Rule 6: Build recurring revenue.
Prioritize services with monthly or annual retainers over one-time projects. Predictable cash flow creates a stronger business.
Rule 7: Maintain a debt repayment plan.
Set aside a fixed amount every month for debt repayment before making discretionary purchases.
Rule 8: Build a cash reserve.
Your first milestone is one month’s operating expenses in reserve. Then work toward three months.
Rule 9: Reinvest intentionally.
After essentials and debt payments, reinvest in:
- Sales and lead generation
- Client delivery
- Team capability
- Systems and automation
Avoid buying tools just because they’re new.
Rule 10: Review your numbers every Monday.
Know these five numbers at all times:
- Bank balance
- Revenue this month
- Expenses this month
- New clients acquired
- Outstanding payments to collect
