The Entrepreneur Who Didn’t Keep Records



Mariam is running a growing business. Customers are buying, money is coming in, and from the outside, everything seems to be going well.

But there is one thing she keeps ignoring: her records.

Then one day, she needs money to restock and realises she cannot explain where her business money has gone.

This realistic business story follows Mariam as she discovers the importance of record keeping, tracking expenses, understanding profit, managing business money and making decisions based on facts rather than guesswork.
