Cash Flow.
Why profitable businesses run out of cash — and the simple system to fix it.
Profit is what your P&L says. Cash is what your bank account says.
After 25+ years advising small and medium businesses, I've seen the same pattern play out again and again. A business turns a healthy profit on paper, and the owner still can't sleep at night because the bank balance tells a different story. The gap between the two isn't imagined — it's structural, and it's predictable once you know where to look.
You are not bad with money. Most owners I work with are sharp, careful, and hardworking. What they were never given was a clear view of where cash actually goes between the sale and the bank deposit. Nobody showed them the gap — so they've been managing blind.
That's not a discipline problem. It's a visibility problem.
