All of this discussion about ratios can seem daunting, but don ‚ t get discouraged. As a WLP professional and former mathematics teacher pointed out to me, all her math students became discouraged about midway through the school year. They also felt better about what they were learning as time went on and they became more comfortable and confident. The important thing is not to give up. Familiarity, comfort , and confidence with ratios and financial statements make all the difference in helping your audience understand your value.
