When it comes to numbers, people often have one of two responses- Obsess about them. Ignore them.
When you obsess about them, you give them too much power. When you ignore them, you are missing valuable information.
Numbers that reveal your organization’s finances are called Financial Statements. The healthiest way to approach financial statements is to see them as supporting data in a plot. Similar to a dashboard light in our car, they are an indicator. It tells you what to pay attention to and helps you to make informed decisions and take action. They serve your mission; your mission does not serve them.
