Description

Key Takeaways:



  1. Watch important financial ratios: Pay attention to numbers like your cash-to-debt ratio and how long it takes customers to pay, since they show how healthy your cash flow is.

  2. Use a 16-week cash flow plan: This helps business owners focus on the areas that bring in the most profit.

  3. Avoid unprofitable paths: Say no to money-losing opportunities and strengthen existing relationships to keep finances strong.

  4. Stay disciplined after hard times: Using lessons learned during downturns helps build long-term success when revenues grow again.

  5. Plan big purchases carefully: Good financial planning makes it easier to buy major items, like a luxury car, with confidence.
