Millions of people around the world, just like you and me are somehow involved in reading financial numbers.

Be it your business, your personal finance or your savings, understanding finance is now an essential pre-requisite for business survival and informed decision making.

Interestingly, the single biggest skill in life that could make or break your financial success is not taught in school.

Many entrepreneurs run businesses without having a clue on how to read a balance sheet. Business owners are and continue to remain dangerously ignorant of their numbers and the tax laws.

  • A recent study showed that 55% of small business owners did not review their monthly balance sheets, because they did not understand them.

  • Another survey finds that 83% of small businesses face a serious financial literacy gap.

  • The survey also found that the single reason why most small businesses didn't succeed was the lack of financial literacy skills needed to navigate the obstacles.

This course reveals exactly how you overcome these issues by following the simple steps and tips we give in this course!
