Key takeaways

  • In 2017, if you sold something for $100, that was your only product, and you were running 20% margins as a business, if you did not change your price from 2017 until 2024, [music] that $100 now means that your costs in that business have gone up by 20%, which means that your profit is now zero.
  • And so, that would be like you going back in time where you had a 20% margin business and running it at a $79 price point rather than a $100 price point.
  • And so, you just like that eliminate all the profit in the business.
  • And so, you have to do the reverse of that because inflation is a compounding threat to your business that every year stacks on top of itself.

And so, that would be like you going back in time where you had a 20% margin business and running it at a $79 price point rather than a $100 price point. And so, you just like that eliminate all the profit in the business.
