It’s not enough to survive,” says Ruth King, a self-professed profitability master for small businesses. “Businesses need to thrive.”
King understands what small business confront in their pursuit of profitability and wealth. For nearly four decades she has taught or consulted many thousands of would-be entrepreneurs and established business owners. She is also a successful small business entrepreneur.

By following the 10 rules of profit and the 10 rules of wealth displayed within its pages, business owners can live the life of their dreams. Or at least avoid living a nightmare.
Many business owners just worry about profits and ignore business wealth building, but a business needs both. Without building wealth, the business can still go bankrupt. Unlike books which solely focus on building personal wealth, Profit or Wealth? gives business owners clear, no-nonsense, and simple rules to build business wealth, which can translate to personal wealth. Profit or Wealth? takes a unique perspective on what really matters in financial statements. Percentages don’t matter. Dollars do. For example, business owners discover why looking at net profit percentages or gross margins can get them in trouble.
Available in an audio book format too.

Someone reviewed this book and described it as “Pessimistic and Boring”. I would say it’s informative, enlightening and interesting. This is a collection of real pitfalls that real business owners experienced in their businesses. Things that many people may not be aware of or feel that “it wouldn’t happen to them”.
This should be considered a must read by anyone thinking about starting a business. Not to sway you from starting a business, but to help you protect yourself from common pitfalls.

Great book for understanding small business accounting. Ruth King knows her stuff and makes it so much easier to understand and follow. I purchased a copy for my neighbor too for a gift.
