Numbers Every Owner Should Read

The handful of numbers behind every brand decision, explained without accounting jargon.

Your gut is brilliant at noticing. It's terrible at arithmetic.

What this is

Busy isn't profitable, and a sale isn't cash. This course walks you through margin, discount maths, acquisition cost, lifetime value, cash flow and honest marketing numbers, using worked RM examples from fictional Malaysian businesses. You finish with a one-page dashboard and a monthly habit for making decisions with it.
