73% of the people who died trying to climb Mount Everest did so on the way down the mountain, not going up the mountain. The reason: having accomplished their goal of reaching the top they got complacent and didn’t go down the mountain with the same focus & determination they had going up.

My name is Michael Barbarita with the know your numbers minute.



We business owners who are surviving this pandemic did so with tremendous focus and determination.  That same focus and determination is needed even in the good times. We can’t get to the top of the mountain, allow complacency to set in or allow overconfidence because that is where more deaths occur.

And remember, the most successful business owners know their numbers.
