Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Founder-Friendly Finance Daily Note! I’m so excited to start this practice and am thankful to you first subscribers for taking part!
~ Let’s start at the beginning. ~
You’re interested in building the power of Finance skills into your business
But let’s face it:
Finance can be the WORST.
So how do we start in the best way possible?
With this:
Start with what you love most about your business.
What about your business drives you?
What gets you into the office on Monday?
What lights you up?
What gives you the most pride?
Maybe it’s managing your employees, selling amazing products, talking to customers, building a new offering...
Whatever it is, write it down.
Now, open up your accounting software
(If you don’t have an accounting software, pull up whatever you use to review money moving through your business: your credit card statement, your Stripe account, even your cookie jar)
Now, tell me this:
How is what you love most about your business connected to what you see?
No wrong answers here.
We’re just looking for a story
Of how you think about money connecting to the heart of your business.
This story is your foundation
For understanding your entire business through a financial lens.
Get this story clear
And the rest of Finance will make a whole lot more sense.
