Learn the foundational basics of mathematics if you want a chance at being successful in business.
Adding, subtraction, division and multiplication are all they are. We learn these things as soon as we start getting homework to do from school.
It’s really not as complicated as what most gurus tell you it can be. It simply boils down to being an average consumer.
When you learn to acquire things you want that require funds, it’s then up to you to make the numbers work in your favor.
It’s not just realizing you need to make more money for example to buy something that’s out of your budget in the moment.
There’s going to be times when you literally have to figure out how to have less of a certain resource to satisfy organizations you need to be compliant with.
Taxes for example— there’s business moguls that have stories in where they had to actually prove they’re holding less money than whatever the bracket is to be in a more favorable position. (e.g. pay less money yearly than whatever they have to give up currently)
Division to further this concept could come into play if you were to have to figure out a way to ethically include others into an operation you’re looking to run.
Seeking Professional Help
Feels like we’re getting even more self aware with this reference.
I’m suggesting you gain professional advice if you feel you’re not competent enough to do the math portion of your business.
This is actually where seeing the light with being people oriented will pay off for the better.
Trusting the work of another person that actually seeks out work in math will save you a headache or few.
Your focus is to perform business at a professional level anyway, so collaborating with a more qualified individual or firm will expand what you already have existing.
Here’s where you’re going to look for accountants and relating professions that specifically specialize in crunching numbers.
You don’t have to go for just anybody either, it’s your business, so you can be sure to find somebody who compliments your work style best and build with them.
Questioning Yourself
I wouldn’t usually encourage you to do this, but yes, start questioning your line of thinking at this point.
Start asking yourself a couple things about math and if it’s really something that’s holding you back from your main goal.
Hopefully someone’s heard of the saying “there’s more than one way to skin a cat”. There’s truth in it when applied here.
What makes you think you’re bad at math? What’s the ways you can take credit for actually doing the math if you’re taking on too many partners and wanna work with less people?
Those are rough questions, but it’s the beginning of critical thinking that will actually help you figure things out after your initial doubt.
Step your monologue game up!
You’re gonna have to have a conversation with yourself and ideally reach a satisfying enough conclusion to where you can at least have enough confidence in yourself to complete the tasks that you’re sure will call for a certain level of math to continue operating.
Getting technologically literate
What if I told you that you only have to learn the basics of technology to be considered an expert in leveraging it?
It’s the truth! Let’s go with AI for example.
There’s so many things that the program can do with completing tasks that even 6 figure earners would make money with.
All it takes is learning the basics of how the tech works.
It’s simply getting in tune (or ahead of everybody else) with proven technology that’s making a reasonable buzz with how impactful it’s becoming and then committing to understand it better than everyone else around you.
