You are going to have to buy a scale if your goal is to lose bodyweight.

You will need to have a specific goal in mind for your weight and then begin working towards achieving that goal.

You will need to know how many steps to take, what to eat, how much water to drink, etc.

You measure your progress daily to see if you’re improving or regressing.

Using a scale as your guide is the best way to ensure your success.

Without a scale, losing weight becomes extremely difficult.

The same is true when you run your business. Trying to run a business without a budget is like trying to lose weight without a scale.

If you don’t have a budget, how can you possibly know what your goal is or what you should be working towards?

If you do not have a master budget to measure your performance against, you will never know if you are becoming better or getting worse at what you are doing.

If you don’t have a budget, it’s difficult to tell if you need to put in more effort to meet your financial goals or if you can take a break [cheat-day] because you’ve achieved them.

With a budget, you’ll know where you’re going and whether you’re on track to achieve your goals.
