Book Review
Just as dancers strengthen their physical core to dance at peak performance, small business owners need to strengthen their financial core to be at peak financial performance. Dancing With Numbers: Grow a Financially Healthy Business and Choreograph the Life You Want by Tricia M Taitt lays out the dance moves that established small business leaders can take to engage in a harmonious relationship with their numbers, step confidently in their CEO shoes empowered with actionable financial advice, and grow a profitable enterprise.
In Tricia M Taitt’s book, Dancing with Numbers: Grow a Financially Healthy Business and Choreograph the Life You Want, she will share her insights, expertise and experience to help you find out what it takes to achieve peak financial performance (the right mindset, knowledge, team, operations, strategies). She will also talk about why most "non-numbers" people feel overwhelmed and stressed when dealing with their finances. She will share with you a secret....it has nothing to do with money! Tricia will also tell inspiring stories of experienced business owners who shifted limiting and destructive money mindset and habits and now dance with their numbers.
Strengthening your financial core will allow you to choreograph the life you want and elevate your impact in your business, at home, and in your community. After reading this book and moving through each step, you will describe the relationship to your numbers as an exhilarating, fun, easy-flowing salsa instead of a slow waltz or a torrid tango.
