Let’s think about it this way. If you run a business and only make one transaction per day, chances are you won’t keep a record of those transactions because you can remember them. However, if there are hundreds of transactions in a year, or even in a single day, will you be able to remember all those transactions? A business makes a profit, but do you know how much you have earned or how much you’ve lost? After all, if we don’t keep the books, we can’t know the profit or loss. Those book records are called financial statements (balance sheets). You can do business without reading and understanding financial statements, but you’re just doing the hard-working, foolish thing without knowing the real content of the business. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The Japanese restaurant “Hyakushokuya” doesn’t hire passionate people. The first recruiter was someone who left his resume out. There are only three menus, and only 100 bowls are sold daily. It’s simple, so you can learn things in a week even if you’re not an expert. Still, the average daily revenue is 130,000 yen. The book titled “Let’s Reduce Sales” by founder Akemi Nakamura addresses performance-oriented management policies. They want reasonable management activities suitable for fractions without overdoing it. However, it was the best-selling company during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
