📊 The First Thing Business Teaches You - Numbers Don’t Lie.
“Running a business is just numbers playing with you.” Sounds too serious, right? But the truth is — that’s the whole game. Most of us start with passion. With solving something that feels real. But sooner or later — the numbers catch up. Like:
- “Where’s the money going?”
- “How much did we actually earn this month?”
- “Why are people leaving after the demo?”
And here's the thing — you can't fix what you can't see.
🚦Concerns ever arose?
“Numbers are a headache?” But without tracking something small — you might be missing out on a lot more that actually matters. Even in India, 60% of startups fail within 5 years. Not because the idea is bad — but because the numbers were ignored.
💸 No idea of cash flow.
📉 No idea of expenses.
🧾 No idea if your pricing makes sense.
💡 Where Do You Even Begin?
Simple. Just start with 3 numbers to track weekly:
- How many people used/bought what you built?
- How much did you spend last week?
- What’s the next small goal?
Even a basic Google Sheet or Notion tracker can tell you way more than your memory. And trust me, business minds aren’t the smartest. They’re just the ones capable enough to find the smart ones, track the right things, and act on them.
📍Don’t Wait Until You Scale
It’s tempting to say, “I’ll handle numbers later, when we grow.” But if you don't learn this now — when it’s small — you’ll keep building with blindfolds on.
So, track something this week. Just one metric.
Maybe it’s page views, sales, replies, revenue, anything.
Make it visible. Review it every Friday. Watch what it tells you.
Numbers aren't here to stress you. They’re here to save you.
