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”
On the highway, I saw a warning saying “Half of the death accidents were not wearing seat belts”. This means, “Even if you wear a seat belt, half die.” “Safety” is emphasized by saying “50% reduction in mortality when wearing seat belts”. In the former, 'probability' was noted, and in the latter, the effect of 'reduction' was emphasized. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
