What Profit Planning Really Looks Like

What Happens When You Stop Juggling Spaghetti and Start Planning Profit?

Have you ever felt like your business is just spaghetti thrown against a wall?

You're spinning plates, putting out fires, and wondering which pieces will stick. Joseph Cadavos knows that feeling. With a real estate business closing 90-110 transactions a year, a wife running a med spa an hour away, and three school-aged kids, life was chaos.

But here's what changed everything: He stopped trying to do it all and started doing what actually mattered.

In this episode, Brandon sits down with Joseph to talk about his year in the Profit Planning Network. This isn't your typical "business success story." It's raw, real, and refreshingly honest about the messy parts of business ownership that nobody posts on Instagram.

You'll discover:

• Why blocking time with your spouse on Google Calendar might be the most profitable thing you do this year

• How two completely opposite businesses (making people pretty vs. buying ugly houses) used the same framework to find clarity

• The surprising way AI helped them understand their marriage better

• What "profit planning" actually means (spoiler: it's not what you think)

• How having a buffer changes everything when marketing challenges hit

Key Quote: "I don't care what you make gross—what matters is what you keep at the end of the month." — Joseph Cadavos

This conversation will make you rethink everything about how you're running your business. And maybe, just maybe, it'll convince you to finally schedule that date night.
