    Why Most Entrepreneurs Don’t Know Their Numbers
    2025/08/22
    💰 Revenue looks sexy on social media—but it doesn’t mean you’re profitable. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex exposes one of the biggest reasons businesses fail: not knowing their numbers. From mistaking revenue for profit, to ignoring cash flow, to running a business on guesses instead of data, Paul breaks down why financial awareness is the difference between scaling up and crashing down. If you’re an entrepreneur who wants to build a business that lasts, this episode will help you shift from guessing to tracking, and from flexing to winning. 🔑 Key takeaways: Why revenue ≠ profit (and how to avoid the trap) The #1 financial metric that keeps businesses alive: cash flow How ignoring expenses can turn “six figures” into zero profit Why data-driven decisions beat emotional ones every time Simple habits to track your numbers daily, weekly, and monthly The truth is simple: if you don’t know your numbers, you don’t know your business. 🎯 Stop flying blind.
