You don’t need to be a CPA to be a great owner.
But if you don’t understand how your business makes, loses, or keeps money... you’re flying blind.
In this episode of American Operator, JC walks through the core financial metrics every new business owner must track to know if the business is actually healthy… or just surviving.
From weekly cash flow checks to retention rates and debt coverage, this is the business dashboard no one handed you—but everyone needs.
🔍 Learn how to:
- Build your “Owner Dashboard” with 3–5 core metrics
- Read a P&L like a story—not a spreadsheet
- Track cash flow daily and spot leaks fast
- Monitor team morale without disrupting the operation
- Make confident decisions with real financial awareness
This is Part 2 of our First 30 Days series.
