At the end of the day, it's just about understanding your numbers
If I've got money in the bank, I'm good. If I don't have money in the bank, I'm not good
The smaller the business, the more likely they are just to, hey, if I've got money in the bank, I'm good
It's not about restriction, it's about being intentional about knowing where your money is going
You should have a budget for your household
This topic is both household and business
A lot of people don't know they don't have no clue in terms of how their money is being spent

If you're negative at the bottom, you need a new plan
You make more money or cut some
Your knowledge is only limited to what you know
Someone who considers that a need may not have other wants
It exposes you, it's like your financial nakedness
