“I wish we could never ever see numbers so the creativity flows without the annoyance of the other side of the business..."
Do you ever feel this way?
There is a very good chance you did not start your food business to focus on numbers.
No, you got into this because you're passionate about food and beverage, making delicious products and CREATING.
But the numbers are there and the numbers are important.
How many times has wondering about the state of your finances caused so much stress and worry that it actually caused a creative block?
Here’s the thing: LOOKING at the numbers FREES you from the numbers.
When your food business financials aren’t in order your mind is ALWAYS on money. Worrying, wondering, constantly checking in on your balances and your sales numbers …
When you slow down and fully understand your numbers you become informed and empowered.
You can implement systems that help your business thrive financially - without constant attention - and there is only a need to look at your financials once a week, or even once a month!
You know what’s going on, you feel in control, and creativity starts to return.
This is a transformation I see ALL the time.
The freedom to be creative in your business comes when you embrace the numbers.
building a solid financial foundation is the first step.
