Reinvesting profits
Understand why the 30/30/40 split (approximate): personal withdrawal rewards you sustainably; business reserve prevents shutdown from unexpected costs; reinvestment fuels growth.
In this lesson
Reinvesting profits is part of Business Money Management. This preview shows how entrepreneurship-lab connects to everyday family decisions such as earning, saving, spending choices, goals, approvals, or parent-guided money conversations inside Progress Penguin.
Think about this money choice
Imagine this situation: Your tutoring business makes 80000 in local currency profit in month 3. You withdraw all 80000 in local currency for personal spending. Month 4: your phone breaks and you cannot tutor.
How it works
The 30/30/40 split (approximate): personal withdrawal rewards you sustainably; business reserve prevents shutdown from unexpected costs; reinvestment fuels growth. The specific ratios matter less than the principle: never withdraw 100%, always fund the reserve first, and treat reinvestment as mandatory rather than optional.
Apply it to a real decision
Real-life money moment: You have 150000 in local currency in monthly profit. Design a reinvestment plan that could double your business capacity in 6 months. — Phased reinvestment strategy: content first (more customers per existing effort), then capacity (serve more customers), then passive income (income without time). Each phase builds on the previous. Total deployed: 180,000. Reserve maintained: 90,000. The sequence matters — acquire demand before building capacity; build capacity before creating passive income.
