Shownotes

Our biggest Profit First review yet. Jem and Justin break down why the system saved their businesses, how Mercury Bank automation beats manual tracking, and why you don't need to be perfect with it. Plus the psychology of fake scarcity, stealing from the right accounts, and what happens when sales are better than you hoped.
