Learn the Numbers or Pay the Price

I want to start a business, but I don't have a head for numbers. I don't really need to know that, though. I can hire a numbers guru to take care of all of that for me. Right?

You wouldn't drive with your eyes closed, relying on someone in another car to give you directions over the phone.  

Relying on someone else to interpret your business accounting is exactly the same. Drive with your eyes open. Learn the numbers you need to effectively manage your money (and your business).
