“I’m Not Good at Numbers” — And Why That’s Not a Problem

The Shame Spiral Is Real, But It’s Not the Truth

Let’s get something straight, right off the bat:

Being "bad at numbers" doesn't disqualify you from being a successful CEO. It just means you're human. And likely? A brilliant coach, creator, or entrepreneur who’s been too busy building an empire to decode accounting lingo.

If opening QuickBooks makes your brain melt, you’re in the right place. Because the problem isn’t you. It’s that most bookkeeping advice sounds like it was written by a spreadsheet with Wi-Fi.

But guess what? You don’t need to become a bookkeeper. You need a simple way to make sense of your money—one that actually works for your business and your brain.

Why "Bad at Math" Is Just a Story You Were Told

If you've ever said, "I'm not good at numbers," here's what I want you to know:

That belief? It usually starts in childhood. One boring math teacher. One C-minus. One moment you felt stupid and decided, "Welp, numbers aren’t my thing."

But here’s the truth: You don’t need to be a human calculator to handle your business finances. You need context. Clarity. And a system that doesn’t make you want to chuck your laptop out the window.

QuickBooks for coaches isn’t about becoming a finance whiz. It’s about:

• Seeing what’s coming in and going out
• Knowing what’s yours to keep
• Feeling confident when tax time rolls around

The Real Reason You Avoid Bookkeeping (Hint: It’s Not Laziness)

Spoiler alert: You’re not lazy. You’re overwhelmed.

Between launch plans, coaching calls, content calendars, and keeping your kids alive—bookkeeping falls straight to the bottom of the list. And when you do try to log into QuickBooks? It feels like trying to read a foreign language with no subtitles.

That stress? That avoidance? It makes total sense. Especially if you've:

• Connected your bank but never went back
• Started categorizing transactions and "nope'd" out halfway
• Felt a pit in your stomach every time your CPA emails you

You’re not alone. And you’re not behind. You just need a different approach.

So let’s reframe this:

• You’re not bad at numbers.

• And now, you’re building systems that support the business you’ve already grown.

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to start.
