Last year, I joined the local country women’s association near my farm, and we had a country fair selling scones and cakes. 

 

They said, “Denise, you’re young and spry; you should be on the cash register.”

 

And I thought… “No, I can’t; please don’t make me!”...

 

I didn’t want to have to make change and add up numbers with people watching. So I heated up scones instead.

 

Maths was really hard for me as a kid and still is. 

 

I use my calculator for everything and get the brain version of “tongue-tied” whenever I have to calculate anything (I suspect I have Dyscalculia, it’s like Dyslexia but with numbers).

 

For a long time, I was scared to hire “numbers” people in my business - I was intimidated by the idea of building a money team around me, like accountants, bookkeepers, or financial advisors because I felt like I would be tested or they’d realize I wasn’t good at maths. 

 

But being bad with numbers doesn’t have to mean being bad with money - this is a skill you can outsource. 

 

On today’s podcast episode, we’re talking about building your money team so you can grow and protect your money.
