If it means that you're not very good at conceptualizing what needs to be done, and how much it costs, you should have someone good assist you/do it for you, even if it means hiring someone (depending on the size of your business), because getting the math wrong will mean the difference between success and bankruptcy, and this is even more true the further down the ladder you go in terms of profit margins.
