Season 3 Episode 8: Making Money Starts With Knowing Your Numbers

Entrepreneurial spirit is something that seems to be innate in some people, while others don't have it. Not everyone is called to lead either and that's okay! We need all types of people to run effective businesses. That's something our guest Nathan Hirsch, lifelong entrepreneur and owner of several companies including EcomBalance, knows a ton about. Nathan shares his early experiences in entrepreneurship selling books on Amazon and how that's lead to owning and growing multiple companies today. Even though he isn't a bookkeeper, Nathan understands the importance of keeping clean books. Brands often sell on multiple channels so not knowing which one is driving the most profitability can come back to bite you. That's where immaculate financial statements come into play. From early riser hustler to dad owning a portfolio of companies, Nathan invites us into his journey. You ready?
