Positive Cash Flow: A Paycheck At Last!
It seems like all we ever talk about is the bad business market, depressed sales revenue, increased taxes and fees and the cost of doing business. Running upside down.
You focus your time on somehow having enough cash for payroll every week. You juggle payables and cash flow and make critical decisions about who to pay. You see the downturn, the erosion of revenue. You see the trend and know you will soon be out of cash and peddling up hill. You know that your debt is way too high and will eat you alive in time. You see one competitor after another dropping out and you wonder when your turn will come.
You worry all night about the bank calling your notes, your lessor shutting you out, your unpaid 941 payroll tax bill, ever growing. You have little time to focus on your business, marketing, expansion, or other income-producing activities. The old way is not working and you do not know what to do. You are locked in a downturn like nothing you have ever seen before, with no experience in changing courses midstream. You’re waiting for something—anything—to happen!
This is the plight of so many small business owners and operators. You cannot focus on building the business because you are trapped into a cash flow nightmare and you’re spending your time on survival tactics like debt management. It’s hell.
