022: Business - Accounting 101 Why I Now Embrace Numbers Instead of Hate Them

This month our topic on the business podcasts is all about knowing the numbers in your business.

Now don’t click away or zone out on us! This is foundational information we wished we would have known sooner.

In this episode we talk share our own story of failures and mistakes with finances and the basics to help you get started with a much better foundation than we did.

We know this is a tough topic for most creative to tackle. Pray and ask God to help you understand and implement what you need to do for your business. You are not in this alone!
