Financial reports can feel intimidating, especially for founders without a finance background. But understanding the basics can dramatically improve decision-making and confidence. In this practical guide, Rebecca Nankya Ssemugabi breaks down how to read a balance sheet in simple, everyday language, supported by a hands-on balance sheet generator you can try yourself. M ost founders don’t struggle with running a business. They struggle with understanding the numbers behind it. And few reports feel more intimidating than the balance sheet. But here’s the truth: a balance sheet is simply a snapshot of what your business owns, what it owes, and what’s actually yours at a specific point in time. The Balance Sheet in One Line Every balance sheet is built on one simple equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity Assets are what the business owns Liabilities are what the business owes Equity is what belongs to the owner(s) If this equation balances, the balance sheet makes sense.

The Challenge Explained
Have you ever wondered what it takes to get a satellite into the perfect orbit? It’s harder than it looks! Now you can try your hand at being a Mission Control Commander right here. This mini-game is simple to start, but tough to master.
1. The Goal: Match Two Numbers
To win the game, you must make two of your satellite's current numbers exactly match the required Target numbers you see in the top right corner:
- Altitude (Alt): This is simply how high you are above the planet.
- Velocity (Vel): This is your satellite’s speed.
You must get both your Current Altitude and Current Velocity to line up with the Target values at the same time.
2. How to Use the Controls
Use the directional buttons (or W, A, S, D / Arrow Keys on a desktop) to fire your thrusters. The key is to use short, light taps, don't hold the button down!
- Down Button (S Key): This thrusts toward the planet, which will usually slow your satellite down and gently lower your altitude.
- Up Button (W Key): This thrusts away from the planet, which will usually speed you up and raise your altitude.
- Left/Right Buttons (A/D Keys): Use these to change the path of your satellite.
Last Warning: Don't Crash! If you hit the planet, the mission is over!
تحدي محاذاة المدار: هل أنت مستعد للإطلاق؟
مهمتك في هذه اللعبة المصغرة هي وضع قمر صناعي في مداره المثالي خلال 30 ثانية فقط.
للفوز، يجب عليك مطابقة رقمين أساسيين مع الهدف المحدد: الارتفاع (Alt) و السرعة (Vel). يجب أن تتطابق القيمتان الحاليَّتان مع المستهدف في نفس الوقت.
استخدم أزرار الدفع (W, A, S, D) للتحكم، وتذكر أن المفتاح هو استخدام نقرات خفيفة وسريعة.
- الزر الأسفل (S): لخفض السرعة والارتفاع.
- الزر الأعلى (W): لزيادة السرعة والارتفاع.
