🤔💷What is your business really worth? We're diving into Owner's Equity—the crucial number on your Balance Sheet that reveals your true business net worth. Learn what makes up this essential number and how to use it for ultimate financial clarity.

👋🏽Welcome back, family! Today, we're tackling one of the most important, yet often misunderstood, concepts in small business finance: Owner's Equity.

It’s tempting to measure success only by the cash in your bank account, but your business net worth is so much more! The Owner's Equity section on the Balance Sheet tells you the true value the owners hold in the company. Understanding this concept is a massive step toward achieving financial clarity and managing your resources with true biblical stewardship.

We will break down the famous Balance Sheet Equation (A=L+E) to show you exactly where your equity comes from and why watching this number grow is the ultimate sign of success.

In this episode, we’re covering:

• The Analogy: Why Owner's Equity is like the "title deed" to your business.
• The Two Ingredients: How Owner's Investments and Retained Earnings (Profit) build this number.
• The Practical Win: Why looking at Owner's Equity is far better than looking at your bank account balance.
