Chapter 5

Does a full till mean the shop is making money?

Két tiền đầy có nghĩa là quán đang lãi?

The chapter's question

Which numbers do I need to look at every week to know the shop is heading the right way?

Big idea

The first thirty days only matter if they become a habit of reading numbers every week. A few numbers read regularly tell you where the shop is heading before the till does.
