FAQ

Check the frequently asked questions about this course.

Who is Future Focused Business for?
Future Focused Business is for established business owners who are ready to get serious about the financial health of their business — using the Profit First method and the Business Priority Pyramid as the framework. It suits owners who want structure, honest self-assessment, and coaching support, rather than a quick fix.
Do I need to already know Profit First before I start?
No. The early modules build the Profit First foundations from the ground up. Prior exposure to Profit First is a bonus, not a requirement.
How much time do I need to commit?
Each workbook is designed to be worked through at your own pace, and the weekly Group Coaching Calls run for around an hour. We recommend setting aside 1-2 hours per week to work on your business, by working through the workbooks, watching videos or attending calls. Beyond that, the time commitment is really up to you — the more consistently you engage with a module, the more you'll get out of it before moving to the next.
Is this delivered online or in person?
Future Focused Business is delivered online through our Platform — workbooks, videos, and Group Coaching Calls are all accessible remotely, so you can work through the program from anywhere.
What does the program actually include?
Three things: a workbook and resources for each module, supporting videos, and weekly live Group Coaching Calls where you can work through whatever stage you're currently on with PFAC and your peers.
How is the program structured?
Future Focused Business follows the Business Priority Pyramid — six tiers, from Awareness at the base through Sales, Profit, Structure, Impact, and Legacy at the peak. Each tier is built on the one below it, so the modules are designed to be worked through in that order.
Do I have to complete the modules in order?
Yes — the pyramid is sequential, not a menu. A weak foundation lower in the pyramid usually explains the struggles that show up higher up, so each tier needs to be genuinely in place before the next one can hold weight.
How long does the whole program take?
There's no fixed end date — Future Focused Business is self-paced, and you move to the next module when you're ready and have paid for it. Most participants find a rhythm of one module at a time, supported by the weekly calls, works best. It’s likely that it will take 1-3 months to complete each module, depending on how much work you put in and what systems have already been developed in your business.
What if I get stuck on a module?
That's exactly what the weekly Group Coaching Calls are for. Bring whatever you're working through — or stuck on — to a call, and work through it with PFAC and the group. You can also reach out directly between calls.
How does payment work?
You pay for each module individually, as you reach it — not one large upfront fee for the whole program. This lets you move through Future Focused Business at a pace and cost that suits your business.
Why pay per module instead of upfront?
It means you're never paying for content you haven't reached yet, and you can pause between modules if you need to without losing anything you've already paid for and completed.
Can the price of a module change?
Pricing for a module you haven't yet purchased may change from time to time. Once you've paid for and been given access to a module, that price doesn't change retrospectively.
What if I don't finish a module before moving on?
Modules you've paid for stay accessible, so you can return to finish a workbook or rewatch a video at any point. See our Terms and Conditions for the full access period.
Are the weekly calls compulsory?
No — attendance isn't mandatory. You're welcome to work through Future Focused Business using just the workbooks and videos if that suits you better.
What actually happens on a call?
You bring wherever you're currently up to in the program — a question, a sticking point, a number you want a second opinion on — and the group works through it together, with PFAC coaching the discussion. You might be able to share what’s happened to you and your business to help others experiencing the same problems.
Will I have to share my financial information with the group?
Only what you choose to. The calls work on voluntary disclosure — many participants find sharing their numbers with a trusted group is one of the most valuable parts of the program, but nothing is compulsory.
Is what's said on a call kept confidential?
Yes. Everyone on a call agrees to keep what's shared by other participants confidential and not to discuss it outside the group. Full detail is in our Terms and Conditions.
What results can I realistically expect?
Results depend on how consistently you implement — but participants who work through the modules and engage with the weekly calls typically see clearer visibility over their numbers early on, followed by steadier cashflow and more consistent owner pay as they move up the pyramid.
Is this financial, legal or tax advice?
No. Future Focused Business is general business coaching and education built around the Profit First framework and accountability to keep building your business. For a decision specific to your circumstances — structuring, tax planning, or a legal matter — we'll always point you to a qualified professional, and you should seek that advice before acting.
Does this work for a not-for-profit or sole trader, not just a growth business?
Yes. The Profit First framework and the Business Priority Pyramid apply regardless of structure — the numbers and the language adjust, but the sequence of Awareness through to Legacy holds for a not-for-profit protecting its mission or a sole trader building an asset, not just a $750k+ business.
What do I need to access the platform?
Just a device, an internet connection, and a browser capable of streaming video and viewing PDF or online workbooks — no special software required.
Who do I contact if I have a question that isn't answered here?
Reach out any time — admin@profit1st.com.au or 1800 PFA AUS / 1800 732 287. We're always happy to talk through whether Future Focused Business is the right fit, or to help with anything practical along the way.

Workbook - Impact

This workbook has three parts. Part One asks you to find the evidence of transformation already happening in your business — real examples, not aspirational ones. Part Two turns that evidence into a single Impact Statement: who you help, and what actually changes for them because of the work you do. Part Three checks whether your current marketing reflects that impact, or whether it is still selling the transaction while the transformation goes unspoken.



Work through it honestly. A transformation you cannot point to with a real example is just a hope — and an impact no one can hear in your marketing is not really being offered at all.

Workbook - Mission

This workbook has three parts. Part One helps you find out, honestly, whether your business is currently mission-driven or role-driven — for leadership and for the team. Part Two is a facilitation guide for running two real alignment sessions: one with leadership first, then one with the wider team. Part Three is a step-by-step guide to refining and defining a mission statement that is specific enough to actually change how decisions get made.



Work through it in order. A mission session run before leadership is genuinely aligned tends to surface — and spread — the same misalignment it was meant to fix.

Workbook - Dream Alignment

This workbook has five parts. Part One checks whether the people who carry the most weight — the owners and shareholders — are actually pulling in the same direction. Part Two defines what alignment looks like in practice, so you know it when you see it. Part Three gives you a repeatable way to ask your team about their individual dreams and score how well those dreams line up with the business's grand vision. Part Four is what to do when the answer comes back misaligned. Part Five builds a daily habit — a mind movie or vision video — that keeps the business's own direction alive and specific in your mind.



Work through it honestly, and revisit it at least once a year. People's dreams change as their lives change — an alignment check that was true two years ago may not be true today.

Workbook - Open Feedback

This workbook has three parts. Part One maps your current feedback process — when it happens, how it is collected, and whether it genuinely makes room for criticism as well as praise. Part Two turns whatever feedback you already have into a documented list of real improvement areas. Part Three builds the habit that keeps feedback alive: a simple three-step loop — Receive, Give, Act — so that feedback doesn't just get collected, it gets used.



Work through it honestly. A feedback process that only ever surfaces compliments isn't open — it's just filtered. The businesses that improve fastest are the ones that go looking for the criticism, not just the ones that are comfortable receiving it when it shows up.

Workbook - Networks

This workbook has three parts. Part One documents a real, repeatable process for collaborating with other businesses — and a way to track whether you actually do it, with whom, and what came of it. Part Two builds a list of quality referrers you trust enough to put your own name behind. Part Three brings both together into a "Circle of Safety" — a defined, shareable set of complementary businesses you can confidently hand your clients to, for everything you don't provide yourself.



Networks isn't about referral trading for its own sake. A weak referral costs you trust with a client who followed it. A strong network — built deliberately, reviewed honestly — is one of the most valuable things you can hand a client that costs you nothing to give.

Volume 0.42 MB
Workbook - Networks (Circle of Safety and Collaboration Log)

This workbook helps you build and strengthen your professional network by identifying trusted referral partners and tracking valuable business relationships. Use the Circle of Safety tab to document the key professionals and service providers you confidently recommend to clients, and the Collaboration Log tab to record and manage relationships with vendors, partners, and competitors. Together, these tools provide a structured approach to developing a strong, reliable network that supports both your business growth and client success.
