Cash Flow: See Trouble Coming | FlowForge Academy

Transcript

Erik: Cash flow trouble doesn't arrive. It approaches. Let's see it coming.

Voiceover: Give it your balance, the invoices coming in, and your weekly costs. Back comes an eight-week forecast, week by week. Update it every Friday. Five minutes, no surprises.

Erik: Eight weeks ahead, every week. That's how you sleep at night.

Key Points

Profit on paper and cash in the bank are two different things — the gap is what surprises people

The forecast flags any week where your running balance is projected to go below zero
Update it every Friday — five minutes keeps you ahead of any tight week, instead of surprised by it
