You don’t have a money problem. You have a decision problem.
Most business owners are not short of numbers. They have reports. They have Xero. They have a bank balance.
But when it comes to making a decision — hiring, spending, paying themselves — they hesitate.
Because they don’t actually know what the numbers mean.
That’s where the CPR Compass comes in.
What is the CPR Compass?
The CPR Compass is a simple way to understand what is really happening in your business.
Instead of staring at reports, you focus on three things:
Cash — Can the business breathe?
Profit — Is the business worth running?
Revenue — Is enough money coming in?
Most businesses are stuck because they don’t know which of these is broken.
Why most numbers don’t help
You can have:
- good revenue
- a positive bank balance
- clean reports
…and still feel stressed.
Because everything is mixed together.
Cash, expenses, GST, and profit sit in one place.
So every decision becomes a guess.
How CPR fixes this
The CPR Compass forces clarity.
Instead of asking:
“How is my business doing?”
You ask:
- Is this a cash problem?
- Is this a profit problem?
- Is this a revenue problem?
Each one has a different fix.
1. Cash problems
This is when:
- you feel tight even with sales
- you hesitate to spend
- you don’t know what is safe
The issue is not income.
It’s visibility.
Fix: separate your money so you can see what is actually available.
2. Profit problems
This is when:
- money comes in but disappears
- expenses expand quietly
- you never feel rewarded
Fix: protect profit first before expenses take it.
3. Revenue problems
This is when:
- sales are inconsistent
- you rely on random wins
- you don’t know your target
Fix: set a clear minimum revenue target and track weekly.
What changes when you use CPR
- You stop reacting emotionally
- You know what to fix first
- You make decisions faster
- You feel in control again

You don’t have a money problem. You have a decision problem.
Most business owners have numbers. They have reports. They have bank balances. But they still don’t know what to fix first. The CPR Compass helps you see whether the real issue is Cash, Profit, or Revenue.
Cash
Can you see what is actually safe to spend, or are you relying on one bank balance?
Profit
Are you protecting profit first, or letting expenses quietly eat it?
Revenue
Are your sales enough to cover the business you are trying to run?
Why CPR matters
- Cash shows whether the business can breathe.
- Profit shows whether the business is worth running.
- Revenue shows whether enough money is coming in to support the plan.
What changes when you use it
- You stop reacting to every bill, dip, or panic moment.
- You know whether the next fix is cash control, profit protection, or revenue growth.
- You turn your numbers into weekly decisions, not monthly confusion.
