Firstly, keep the means of payment under your own control whilst your business is small enough. Keep your cheque books locked in a drawer.

However, looking at a profit figure in isolation isn't really very useful. If you were to be told you were on a journey and you were currently in Darlington....would that be good or bad? It's much the same with profit and loss. A figure doesn't mean very much unless you add the context of where you are coming from and where you are hoping to get to.

Or look at year to date profit & loss compared to year to date for the same period last year. If you really want to get serious - plan what you want to achieve. You are much much more likely to achieve it if you plan for it and commit it to writing. The plan in the form of numbers is what is known as a budget.
