Startup Tip #13: Hire a nerd https://baremetrics.com

Dave Ramsey talks about “nerds” and “free spirits” when it comes to finances in marriage.
The “nerd” loves to manage the budget while the “free spirit” loves to forget there’s a budget to manage.
My wife is the “nerd” and I’m the “free spirit”.
She’s managed our finances for the entirety of our nearly 12 years of marriage.
It’s not that one is better than the other. Without the nerd, the free spirit would spend recklessly and go broke.
Without the free spirit, the nerd would never spend any money at all and would be miserably uptight. They need each other for balance.
Your business is the same way.
If you, as a founder, aren’t the “nerd” and obsessing over finances and forecasting the future isn’t your bag, don’t force it.
Hire a nerd.
