The Book
Break Even or Break Down
The financial framework every business owner should have learned before they opened the doors, but almost nobody teaches.
What the Book Is About
Most Business Owners Don't Know Their Real Numbers. This Book Changes That.
You can be busy, growing, and still broke. You can have a full schedule, a team of people, and a revenue number that sounds impressive and still wonder why the bank account never reflects it. That's not a hustle problem. It's a clarity problem.
Break Even or Break Down is built around one core idea: every business owner needs to know three specific numbers. Not revenue. Not profit. Three break-even numbers that tell you exactly what it costs to keep the doors open, what it costs to pay yourself what you're worth, and what it takes to actually build wealth through your business.
Cole Corrigan developed this framework over seven years of direct work with 750+ business owners across 20+ industries. This book is that framework written in plain language, without jargon, for owners who are done guessing and ready to understand their business at the level it deserves.
The Core Framework
The Three Break-Even Numbers
Most financial advice tells you to track revenue and watch expenses. That's not enough. These three numbers tell you what your business actually needs to do and whether it's doing it.
The Door-Open Break-Even
What does it cost just to keep the lights on? Rent, payroll, insurance, debt service before you pay yourself a dollar.
The Owner-Pay Break-Even
What does the business need to generate for you to pay yourself what your time is actually worth?
The Wealth-Building Break-Even
What does the business need to produce for you to build real financial independence not just survive, but accumulate?
