Numbers and Management: Without numbers, a business can’t grow beyond a certain point. Here’s a simple example: imagine you go to the bank to get a loan because you don’t have enough cash for your operations. To qualify for a business loan , you need financial statements like balance sheets . Banks don’t lend based on looks or abilities but decide if your current financial situation is promising for the future. It’s hard to get a loan if you don’t tell a story with numbers. If you rely solely on bank deposits , you’ll spend what you have or borrow if you run out. That keeps your business running as it is, but without verifying your creditworthiness with numbers, don’t even consider borrowing from the bank. Good debt can create leverage, but bad debt can wipe out even your past gains. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
According to a cognitive psychologist’s study, creativity is closely related to goal setting. Even though it seems less likely than it does for someone who simply sets a viable goal, a person who sets an unusual goal is more likely to have the ability to connect unrelated elements. In terms of creativity, “dreaming” is more important than planning. One of the things artificial intelligence can’t do on behalf of humans is engage in this act of dreaming. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
