The Problem:
What do you do when revenue looks fine on paper but the bank account tells a different story? Most small-business owners think profit equals safety — it doesn’t. Profit is a lagging indicator. Cash flow is the truth. When you grow fast without managing inflows and outflows, you create the illusion of success while quietly suffocating your business.

The Insight:
Financial resilience is less about cutting costs and more about creating rhythm. You need a weekly cash-flow pulse, not a monthly panic. Consistency beats complexity. The real power move is building a 90-day cash buffer so surprises stop being crises.

An Example:
A Houston-based services CEO I coached was profitable on paper but couldn’t make payroll three times in a year. Once we built a simple rolling 13-week cash forecast, she saw the bottlenecks clearly — slow receivables, inflated inventory, and forgotten subscriptions. Within six months, she turned $68K in “mystery shortages” into a reserve fund.

The Solution:
Start by knowing your number: How many days could you survive if revenue stopped tomorrow? Then, enforce discipline — weekly cash reviews, faster AR follow-ups, and a focus on recurring revenue streams. Resilience isn’t about austerity; it’s about predictability.
Nik’s Rule: Profit feeds ego. Cash flow feeds longevity.

My Invitation to You:
If your business looks healthy but feels unstable, let’s simplify your cash rhythm before the market does it for you. Book time to uncover the gaps and turn profit into real liquidity.
