Money First CEO

The Real Cost of Not Knowing Your Numbers

Harman Season 1 Episode 5

In this episode of Money First, CEO, I dive deep into a topic that too many business owners avoid—your numbers. Ignoring your financial data isn't just a money problem—it's a mindset issue that leaks into every decision you make, from hiring to pricing to chasing shiny new solutions. I share real-world stories of clients who turned chaos into clarity, the hidden mental load of not knowing your figures, and a practical action step to take control. If you’ve ever found yourself avoiding your finances or making gut decisions instead of informed ones, this episode is your wake-up call.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why avoiding your numbers drains mental energy and confidence
  • How financial avoidance leads to poor decision-making
  • The cost of panic-hiring and undercharging
  • The power of financial clarity and how it builds CEO confidence
  • A simple weekly practice to build data confidence and track progress
  • Client stories that prove clarity leads to more profit—not more hustle
  • How to conduct a 30-minute mini-audit to start leading with numbers

Take Action:
Block 30 minutes this week to look at your money—review your P&L, compare last month to this month, and reflect: is profit going up, down, or flat? And why?
