Why this topic matters

Cash is the #1 reason small businesses fail and most don’t realize there’s a problem until it’s too late. Understanding your cash flow isn’t just a finance task, it’s a leadership skill. When you master this, you’ll stop flying blind, make smarter decisions faster, and create breathing room for growth. This is how you go from surviving to scaling.
