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 - Supporters & Allies

This workbook has two parts. Part One helps you notice and track when this is already happening — because it usually is, more than owners realise, and it usually goes unnoticed and unthanked. Part Two turns that noticing into a real list: the specific people, inside and outside the business, who back you without being asked — and a genuine, ongoing way to show them it hasn't gone unnoticed.



Supporters & Allies isn't about generating more referrals. It's about recognising the advocacy that's already happening around you, and making sure the people doing it know it matters — because unnoticed advocacy tends to quietly fade.

Volume 0.27 MB
Workbook - Supporters and Allies Tracker

This workbook is the companion to the Supporters & Allies workbook. It's built to be lived in — update it as you notice unprompted promotion and as you show appreciation, not just once a quarter.

Workbook - Fresh Perspectives

This workbook is where you build that plan. It has three parts. Part One maps a concrete transition and renewal plan for leadership — including you. Part Two identifies the mentor, training, or outside perspective that will help you grow, work on mindset, and let go of whatever is currently holding you and the business back. Part Three brings it together: your strengths, your business's strengths, the mindset challenges in the way, and the one thing most likely holding you back — turned into a plan you can actually work.



This is an action workbook, not a reflection exercise. Every section ends with something to do, not just something to think about. Write freely, and don't feel you need to have this solved on the first pass — fresh perspectives are found by returning to these pages, not by filling them in once.

Volume 0.34 MB
Workbook - Fresh Perspectives Professional Development Log

This is the companion tracker to the Fresh Perspectives workbook. Where the workbook is where you plan, this is where you log it as it actually happens — every mentor conversation, course, training session, book, or coaching session that moves your leadership forward, plus the commitments from your 90-day growth plan.

Workbook - Track Your Legacy

This workbook is where that happens. It's short, it's practical, and it comes back to three questions, over and over: how much time are you actually giving your legacy, how are you tracking that, and how will you know it's working? Answer those three questions honestly, every week and every quarter, and the legacy you wrote down stops being a statement and starts being a habit.



Fill this in on your own rhythm — weekly at minimum, reviewed monthly and quarterly. A tracker completed from memory after the fact stops being honest data. Keep it close to where you already do your Profit First allocations, so checking one becomes a cue to check the other.

Volume 0.34 MB
Workbook - Task Audit

A working tool to decide, task by task: keep doing it yourself, hand it to the team, outsource it, or delete it. Every time you notice yourself doing a recurring task, log it on the Task Audit tab. Don't filter as you go — capture everything, then work through the Decision column honestly for each one.

Workbook - Quarterly Planning

This workbook has three parts. Part One is about the vision itself — revisiting it, restating it, and being honest about whether it still fits. Part Two is a full review of every tier of the pyramid, because a business that has reached Legacy hasn’t finished the work below it — it has simply built enough strength to keep protecting it. Part Three is the working section: four identical quarterly planning sessions, one for each quarter of the financial year, each combining a vision check-in, a quick pyramid scan, a financial snapshot, this quarter’s focus, and an action plan.



This is a whole-year workbook used one quarter at a time. Complete Part One and Part Two now, then return to Part Three fresh at the start of each quarter — don’t try to fill in all four quarters in one sitting. A plan written nine months in advance isn’t a plan, it’s a guess.

Workbook - Quarterly Planning Tracker

The Quarterly Planning – Numbers Tracker workbook helps you monitor your business performance throughout the year by tracking key financial and strategic metrics. It includes tools to measure income, profit growth, quarterly financial snapshots, Core Needs progress, and overall business health. Designed to work alongside the Quarterly Planning process, this workbook provides a clear, data-driven view of your progress and automatically consolidates your results into a dashboard, helping you make more informed decisions and stay focused on long-term business success.

Workbook - Continuous Improvement

This workbook has two parts. Part One is a self-assessment — is continuous improvement actually designed into how the business runs, or does it only happen when a problem forces it? Part Two is the working engine of the whole workbook: a living Improvement Log where every idea, gap, or "we could do this better" gets captured the moment it’s noticed, tracked through to a decision, and reviewed on a set rhythm so nothing quietly disappears.



This isn’t a workbook you complete once and file away. The Improvement Log is designed to be reopened continually — in team meetings, after client feedback, after a rough week, after a genuinely good one. A business that only logs improvements when things go wrong is reactive, not continuously improving.

Volume 0.41 MB
Workbook - Continuous Improvement Log

This is the companion Excel tool for the Continuous Improvement workbook. Log every idea, gap or “we could do this better” the moment it's noticed, on the Improvement Log tab. Review the log on a fixed rhythm and use the Dashboard tab to see open items, priorities and progress at a glance — all of it updates automatically as you fill in the log.
