Making informed decisions is vital to success in every aspect of life — business, and investing are no exception. One of the critical factors in making informed decisions is knowing your numbers. 

In this episode, we will dig deeper into the importance of knowing your numbers in business and investing and the risks of not knowing them.

In business, making data-driven decisions is crucial to success. In my experience, businesses that made data-driven decisions were the most successful. 

So, understanding your goals, milestones, and risk tolerance in making investment decisions is necessary, as knowing your numbers enables you to determine when to cut your losses and when to take profits. 

Knowing your numbers is also essential in building investment strategies. It stimulates you to build your strategy off worst-case scenarios, knowing what you can guarantee for yourself. However, not knowing your numbers can be disastrous, as it can lead to catastrophic losses. 

Remember, being undisciplined when investing can make you lose a lot of money. 

In a nutshell, it is essential to be disciplined and stick to your numbers and plans. 

Let's discuss more of this in this episode, and see you on the inside!
