Not a Numbers Person?

When it came to finances and wealth creation, I had to find out the hard way, through over spending, getting into debt, not saving when I was a young person, but still wanting and needing all the necessities and little luxuries in life, and not being able to afford them. I grew up in a family, where financial freedom, independence and saving money were not topics that were talked about or taught. My mother and father ran their small business for 30 years, and I all saw was debt, debt and more debt. They borrowed money for everything and once they got to retirement, had no savings, no assets or home owned and no superannuation.

As heartbreaking as this was for me to see, it actually pushed me to educate myself on money and how to get it working FOR me, and now in my late 40s I am financially free. I have heard from many CEOs over the years that they are simple "not a numbers person". My response to that is - If you are going to be successful in business, then you better start learning to be a numbers person.

When we understand that money is simply a tool and a vehicle to get us where we want to go, we can stop worrying about it and get on with making it.
