What's up, everybody?

And welcome back to the Level Up Podcast.

I'm Paul Alex, and today we're going to be tackling a major problem that keeps entrepreneurs broke.

Most business owners don't know their numbers.

Listen, if you don't know exactly how much you're making, spending or keeping, you're flying blind.

And guess what?

Blind businesses crash, guys.

So let's go ahead and talk about how to fix that.

First, revenue is not profit.

Too many entrepreneurs are flexing online revenue numbers like they mean something.

I've seen people brag about making six figures a month, but when you look under the hood, they're barely breaking even.

It's not about what you make.

It's about what you keep.

If you're not tracking expenses operating costs and profit margins your business is a time bomb waiting to go off second cash flow is king i've seen businesses make millions go under because they had no idea when money was coming in versus when it was going out if you're not monitoring your cash flow one slow month can wipe you out know your burn rate guys track your accounts and don't let your business run on hope and lastly stop guessing and start tracking the best businesses don't make emotional decisions.

They actually make data-driven ones.

If you're not looking at your numbers daily, weekly, or monthly, you're playing a very dangerous game.

Success isn't about working harder.

It's actually about working smarter.

It's about making smarter moves based on real numbers, guys.

Look, what's the bottom line now?

If you don't know your numbers, you don't know your business, track your revenue, cash flow, and profits like your success depends on it because it does.

Look, guys, thanks for tuning into Love Love Podcast.

I'm Paul Alex, here to remind you that don't don't be another entrepreneur who gets wiped out by ignorance and flashing revenue numbers online.

Know your numbers, make smart moves, and as always, keep leveling up.

Thanks for listening up to the Love La Podcast.
