As business owners, we are constantly told to "Know your numbers" and "Track your numbers". And true, there is no shortage of numbers you could be tracking in your business.
Revenue. Profit. Expenses. Cash flow. Accounts receivable. Profit margin. Average sale. Revenue per client. And depending on the type of business you own, probably dozens more.
There is probably a number in your business you would rather not look at.
Maybe it is your current bank balance, your revenue for the month, your outstanding invoices, your expenses, or the amount you are actually paying yourself. Maybe you already know the number is there, but you keep putting off looking at it because you are afraid of what you might find.
You tell yourself, “I’ll look at it later.”
