Think of your business as a garden.

Imagine your business is a garden. Just like plants need

water and sunlight, your business needs money to grow. But in the

business world, money has its own language. Financial

jargon. Let's break it down simply. Revenue.

It's those seeds that you plant. Revenue is the money

your business earns from selling products or services. And just

like seeds, the more you plant, that is sell, the bigger your

garden. That is your business will grow. Profit. Think of that

as the fruit you harvest. Profit is what's left after you pay

for everything else. Think water, think soil, think

tools. It's the reward for all your hard work. No

profit, no harvest expenses equivalent

to the care that you give. Expenses are the costs of running your

business. Just like water and fertilizer for your

plants, these are necessary to keep your garden healthy. And you

don't want to overspend. Cash flow. Just like the weather

forecast, cash flow is the movement of money in and out

of your business. Just like you watch the weather, know when to water

your plants you need to watch. You need to track your cash

flow to ensure your business has enough money to

thrive. Assets. It's the tools in your shed.

Now, assets are the valuable things that your business owns.

The equipment, the inventory, or even patents.

These help you to keep your garden that is your business running

smoothly. Liabilities. Those are the weeds in your

garden. Now, liabilities will represent what your

business owes. The loans, your bills. Just like

weeds, you need to manage them carefully so they

don't take over. We wouldn't want that, would we? By

thinking of your business as a garden, financial jargon

becomes easier to understand. Keep your garden well

tended and your business will flourish.
