The Lie That Costs Business Owners the Most | Monday Mindset

It is Monday, which means we start before the inbox. Penny opens in Matthew 4, where the first thing the enemy goes after is not Jesus' power but his identity: "if you are the Son of God." Then Colossians 3, and a distinction worth sitting with, that chosen, holy and dearly loved are gifts you receive rather than things you earn. From there it gets practical fast. Penny has been at the homeschool table with a kid in tears over math saying "I'm not good at this," and she hears the grown-up version constantly from business owners: "I am not a numbers person." She is calling it what it is this morning. If you own a business, you are a numbers person, because money is made or lost in those numbers. Maybe you have never been shown them in a way that made sense, in charts instead of spreadsheets, or with someone willing to actually teach you. That is a different problem, and it is fixable. Make it your one thing this week.Book a Free Call with PennyConnect with us:FacebookInstagramLinkedIn1610 Financial SolutionsTakeaways"I am not a numbers person" is a crutch, not a fact. If you own a business, you are a numbers person, because money is made or lost in those numbers.Not understanding your numbers is usually a delivery problem, not a you problem. Charts instead of spreadsheets, plain English instead of accounting language, or simply someone willing to teach you.Chosen, holy and dearly loved are gifts you receive, not standards you earn. Everything Colossians 3 asks you to put on comes after that, not before it.Your identity gets attacked hardest when you are doing something you have never done before, which for an owner is most weeks. Being unfamiliar with something is not evidence you were not built for it.Pick one thing each week that moves the business forward, and make it specific enough to finish. This week, understanding one number you have been avoiding is a good candidate.This show is for general information and encouragement. It is not tax, financial or legal advice.
