We save a client $20,000 a year. In five years, that's an extra hundred thousand dollars that they've invested. What can that do for them? And you take it out even further, it turns into a lot of money.

Unfortunately, people don't communicate with their accountants. Accountants are probably not the best communicators by nature. If you're a business owner, you're running a business, you are not gonna typically be reaching out to your accountant. You want that person to reach out to you and you wanna be on some kind of a schedule. You guys are both on the same page.

Hello, hello, hello, this is Gresh from the I AM CEO podcast and I appreciate you listening to this episode. If you've been listening this year, you know that we hit 1600 episodes at the beginning of this year. We're doing something a little bit different where we're repurposing our favorite episodes around certain categories, topics, or as I like to call them, business pillars that we think are going to be extremely impactful for CEOs, entrepreneurs, and business owners. Or what I like to call the CB Nation architects that are looking to level up their organizations.

In this month, we are focusing on knowing thy numbers. I could hear the phrases from Mr. Wonderful on Shark Tank. If you understand or don't understand exactly what numbers is, think finance, economics, accounting, capital, investment funding, bootstrapping, anything that's around numbers. We have to understand how important it is to know your numbers and how important that is for you to forecast, make decisions, and to be able to truly strategize around your business and do that successfully.

Things are gonna be a little bit different obviously, this month. So look for CEO hacks and CEO nuggets and interviews that focuses around this. But more than everything else, make sure that you know your numbers because they're extremely important to the life of your business.
