Just like you can’t drive a car blindfolded, you can’t do business without paying attention to the numbers. Otherwise, you’re doomed to crash — in both situations. How much revenue does your company earn? What’s your growth rate? How much you spend on developing your products and marketing them? These and more questions need to be answered so that you can effectively measure your financial performance, track achievements, control expenses, balance the failures, and prevent disasters.

How often did you catch yourself thinking: “I would probably not have bought this if not for that special deal”? I bet pretty often. I know I did!

And you really can’t be blamed for that. No one wants to miss out on an opportunity to have something for a reduced price or that comes with a cool bonus. In marketing psychology, this is called “fear of missing out,” abbreviated as “FOMO.”

Your brand is not just the logo slapped on your products and marketing materials. Your brand is a story, an image, a set of values, and an attitude your organization is trying to develop.
