"Retained earnings" are basically a budget line item for your profits. It's a good idea to keep some money in the company, to pay for unplanned expenses and to provide a cushion for ongoing cashflow needs, raises, and the like -- and if you factor profit into your budgets, it's a lot easier to stay aware of your profitability. Make sense? (P.S. We talk about all this budget stuff in much more detail in Chapter 3 of the book.) Good question, Leah. “Retained earnings” are basically a budget line item for your profits.

I was at Darren Hayes's concert last year and part of the VIP package was a specially made USB stick with exclusive acoustic tracks from his last tour. we wished we could ship our book with a little USB drive full of sample Excel spreadsheets.
