MIKE MICHALOWICZ SHARES WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW MANAGE CASH FLOW WITH ‘PROFIT FIRST’
Running the day-to-day operations of a business while also managing the money can be difficult to juggle for many small- business owners. Even if they have systems and processes in place, these methods don’t always work as well as they should and can easily become difficult to navigate. When you hit this kind of wall, it can be hard to keep your focus on growing a profitable business. Enter Mike Michalowicz and his book “Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine.” The book was published in 2014 but was updated in 2017. It’s been a huge hit, garnering rave reviews from the business world due to its simple yet innovative profit- first formula. The book has been so successful because Michalowicz has faced these types of challenges before, and he used these experiences to develop principles that make life (and business) that much easier for small- business owners.
You’ll get the scoop on Michalowicz’s profit- centered approach and how his innovative system flips traditional accounting on its head, making money management more streamlined. If you find yourself struggling to manage the financial side of your business, then he has you covered. His tips are especially useful for businesses that have cash flow that varies from month to month or that have a peak season. Michalowicz’s insight is even more valuable in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, as business owners and entrepreneurs everywhere look to get back on track in the second half of 2020, boost their businesses, and recover lost profits. If you’re a seasoned business owner and are already money-minded and exceptionally organized, this book will likely serve as a quick refresher, but if you’re a startup business owner and want to improve your accounting systems and catapult your profits, then “Profit First” is just what you need.
How Police Misconduct Looks During a DUI
INVALID ARREST When we say “probable cause” is required for an arrest, it doesn’t mean police officers can make assumptions to secure the arrest. “Probable cause” means the officer has reasonable and trustworthy facts to believe, in this case, that the driver is driving under the influence. Without probable cause, that DUI arrest is an example of misconduct. IMPROPER ADMINISTRATION AND RECORDING OF SOBRIETY TESTS The arresting officer can use several standardized field sobriety tests, but they must properly understand and administer the test, as well as properly evaluate the results to determine whether the driver was intoxicated or not. Intentional or negligent misrepresentation of the driver’s performance is, equally, misconduct.
HOSTILE ATTITUDE AND FAILURE TO DOCUMENT There’s little excuse for a police officer to be hostile toward civilians based on preconceived notions of guilt, and with transparency laws and body cameras, there’s little excuse for a case to lack video footage or documentation. If video footage has gone missing, it exists as a corrupted file, or the equipment has stopped working, it’s reasonable to question whether there has been misconduct. Fighting for your rights doesn’t make the police an enemy. If you suspect yourself or a loved one has been subjected to police misconduct, we’ll give you a free case consultation.

The conversation to improve police enforcement hasn’t been easy to have for many, many decades. At the time of writing (June 12), the Black Lives
Matter movement protests continue in nearly every major U.S. city. At Yeargan & Kurt, we want to do our part by spreading awareness and talking about the ways that police officers can slip and commit misconduct during a DUI arrest — information that can be used by people from every community. INVALID INVESTIGATORY STOP A police officer may stop your vehicle only if they have reasonable suspicion that a crime occurred: for example, traffic violations or equipment failures. It’s misconduct for an officer to arrest without probable cause. Unfortunately, since many officers know this already, they may even make up a reason for the stop in their police report.
