In this episode, I guide you through the crucial distinction between profit and cashflow—two terms often mistakenly used interchangeably. You'll learn why understanding the difference is essential for your business's financial health. We'll cover how profit is generated purely through business operations, representing what’s left after expenses. In contrast, cash flow accounts for all movements of money in and out of your bank account, including loan payments, distributions, and investments. Realizing that you can be profitable on paper but still struggling with cashflow issues could be a game-changer for your financial strategy. We'll also dive into the importance of a cashflow forecast and how it can be a Swiss army knife for business owners, helping you navigate your weekly, monthly, and yearly financial planning. Stay tuned as I empower you with the knowledge to simplify money and take actionable steps towards a more financially secure business.
