Why You Need to Fall in Love with Your Numbers

Business Habitat with Sam Dean

Episode 84 - Did you know that 25% of people would rather get a root canal than visit their Accountant, according to research out of the US. In this episode, Sam explores why this is the case. Are Accountants bad people? Or is it more the reason that numbers tell a story and oftentimes it's easier to ignore the facts than to deal with the situation head on. But ignorance comes at a cost. There are many reasons why people, especially non-accountants, might choose to avoid close examination of their financial statements. Some might think that numbers are hard, or you need to be good at Maths, or even have an Accounting degree. Yet that's not the case. Even with her strong Accounting background, Sam shares in this podcast her own experience of distancing herself from her numbers and delves into why that happened and the consequences of doing so. One thing that all businesses have in common is that they involve numbers. There's really no avoiding them, and trying to will actually cause more stress and fatigue than being educated on them. Sam discusses the importance of not only understanding your numbers and the underlying metrics that drive them, but learning to love them, and the story that they tell.
