@vicktipnes: Growing too fast is one of the fastest ways to go broke. Sounds backwards, right? You sell more, revenue climbs, everyone's celebrating. Meanwhile your bank account is quietly emptying. Here's why. Revenue and cash are not the same thing. You land $100k in new business, but your client doesn't pay for two months. Your team still needs paid Friday. Vendors want their money. Taxes don't wait. Every new sale can create a bill before it ever creates cash. That's not a sales problem. That's a timing problem. This week, look at three numbers: cash in the bank, cash owed to you and when it's coming, and cash you owe in the next 30 days.
