Most business owners can boost their available cash by 10% in just 30 days once they understand and control their cash flow.
If you’ve ever worried about covering payroll, avoided looking at your bank balance, or made a $5K purchase without knowing if you could afford it next month — you’ve experienced cash confusion.
And you’re not alone: 82% of small business failures are caused by poor cash flow management.
The good news? You don’t have to be a “numbers person” to fix it.
Why Cash Flow Matters More Than Profit
You can have strong sales and still run out of money.
Revenue and profit are important — but cash flow is what keeps your business alive.
It’s the real-time picture of how money moves in and out of your business — and the key to making confident, fact-based decisions.
When you master cash flow management, you:
- Always know if you can cover expenses or make payroll.
- Spot potential shortfalls months before they become urgent.
- Build cash reserves that protect both your business and personal life.
- Make decisions based on data, not fear.

Inside the Cash Flow Catalyst Session
This step of the Gateway to Growth™ program is hands-on and results-driven. We’ll work together to:
- Understand Key Financial Terms
Learn the meaning of key financial terms, such as the difference between revenue, profit, and cash flow — Financial terms are the language of business and without understanding the correct meaning, you will not understand how each affects your daily and long-term decisions. - Build a Cash Flow Forecast
Create a simple, repeatable forecast so you always know what’s coming in and going out in the months ahead. - Use the 3 Savings Buckets Method
Structure your cash into Emergency, Enjoyment, and Opportunity buckets — so you’re prepared for the unexpected, while still being able to enjoy life now, and be ready to seize growth opportunities as they appear. - Using Bank Accounts to Control your Cash
Organize your accounts so you can separate funds automatically and stop accidental overspending. - Leverage Good Debt, Reduce Bad Debt
Learn how strategic debt can fuel growth — and create a plan to pay down debt that drains your business.
What You’ll Gain
By the end of this session, you’ll have:
- A complete cash flow forecast you can easily update.
- Days cash on hand calculated — so you know how long you can operate without new income.
- A segmented savings plan that protects your business and supports your lifestyle.
- Clear steps to reduce unnecessary spending.
- A personalized debt management plan (if needed).
- Confidence to make decisions backed by facts.
Common Challenges We Help Solve

- Difficulty balancing savings with enjoying life now.
We break it down into simple, doable steps — with visual tools and templates that make cash flow management achievable for any business owner.
