Are You Operating in the Dark Without Your Financials?


businessman blindfoldedBlind faith can be a wonderful thing if you’re buying a lottery ticket, but  it can be dangerous if you are relying on it to operate your business  safely.

    Great article – nice to see you back writing for MYOB again. I first saw you on stage talking about profit and cash flow in 2010 with MYOB. I loved your presentation – very practical and helpful.

    I agree it is crazy but why do so many business owners do it? I am a business coach and it blows me away how many entrepreneurs have NO IDEA where they are at financially. They can’t even answer basic questions about their KPIs. No wonder so many of them struggle…
