This is your DIY Fast Track Guide

The Profit First Prophet platform is still in it infancy, and we have loads more tutorials to add to these resources, but we are still working out how best to setup the layout and search functionality of our knowledge centre.

So if you have any questions that aren't covered by this DIY Fast Track Guide, email us at [email protected] and we will send you the direct link to the best tutorial for you.

Initial Setup - The "Data" phase

This where we get the initial data setup for your business. The key here is to not get bogged down in detail. Following these tutorials and the "80/20 rule" will give you a ballpark projection in under 1 hour.

The Weekly Process - The "Do" phase

You're all set now to start a incorporating your projections into your allocation process. Our recommendation is to do weekly Profit First allocations to get the most out of this software and the Profit First methodology as a whole (yes yes we know...the book says to allocate on the 10th/25th...but we believe weekly is provides outsized benefits!)
