Cash Matters - Why every business must focus on cash flow

The truth is – money is rarely the top motivator of the entrepreneur. There is always a passion behind the action of the person willing to step out on his/her own.

 

 

 The business model is an afterthought to the idea of solving whatever problem the business owner is addressing. At least that is true in my case.

Do you ever worry about something in your business?

When I started a service-based company, my biggest worry was not being able to make payroll. I worried about it so much and the drastic effect it would have on everyone who counted on me, I didn’t take a salary for the first 18 months. Even after that, I took money out of my own pocket to increase the cushion. Although, I didn’t know it at the time, I shared one of the same fears as Bill Gates. He was worried about not making payroll so much that he always wanted a years’ worth of salaries held in cash reserves. And trust me, if any company in the world doesn’t have a cash flow problem it is Microsoft. So, whether you’re a local small business or one of the world’s largest companies. Cash always matters.
