Running out of cash is the one on that list that catches the most founders off guard — because it sneaks up on profitable businesses. I work with founders on this all the time. The first move is getting a quick, clear picture of where you actually stand — not what your P&L says, but what's moving in and out and when. From there we look at two levers: speeding up revenue (getting invoices out faster, tightening payment terms, following up on what's owed) and pushing payments out where you reasonably can. Neither is a magic fix, but together they can buy real breathing room — as long as the underlying business is healthy. The bigger shift is just making cash flow the number you watch alongside profit, not instead of it. For growing businesses especially, learning how both work and how they interact with each other is how you actually run things properly. Most founders who get into trouble aren't bad at business — they just never had both dials in front of them at the same time.
