What Financial Literacy Actually Means for a Business Owner | Books & Backbone

Financial literacy doesn't mean knowing accounting.For a small business owner, it means something much more specific — and much more achievable. It's the ability to read your own numbers and act on what they tell you. Not to prepare them. Not to audit them. To read them, understand what they're saying, and make better decisions because of it.In this solo episode of Books & Backbone, Donna Harris breaks down what financial literacy actually is for a business owner, what it costs when you don't have it, and what specifically changes when you do. The hiring decisions made on data instead of hope. The prices set on margin instead of guesswork. The banker conversations held with confidence instead of anxiety.She also talks about how financial literacy actually develops — not through a course or a curriculum, but through one good conversation with someone who explains your numbers in plain English. And what happens in that moment when the reports stop feeling like a verdict and start feeling like a tool.Three specific things to do this week to start building it. One conversation to have that changes everything.Donna Harris, MBA, MAccCEO, Bookkeeping Made Simple LLCmysimplebookkeeping.com | 801-692-0032
