What does one month of your life cost to run? All in.
Say the number out loud. Whatever you just said is wrong, and it is wrong in the same direction every time, because the number in your head was assembled from the bills that arrive monthly and a life is not billed monthly.
The reason most men have not run it is not difficulty. Any man could do it in one evening with his bank statements. It is that the number is a verdict on how he has been living, and as long as it stays unknown the verdict stays unread.
This book is the mechanics of provision for a man who has never read a financial statement and has no intention of becoming an accountant. What a month costs. What you actually own. Margin, cash flow, runway, debt honestly, pricing and why men undercharge out of fear and call it fairness. What a business is worth on the day somebody sits across the table with an offer. And giving, built in from the first dollar rather than promised at some future one.
A man who refuses to learn the mechanics is not being humble. He is delegating his family's security to hope and calling it faith.
