Chrissy Myers argues that cash flow, not revenue, is what gives a business room to breathe. Waiting for payments kills decision-making, hiring, and opportunity. A 1% improvement in cash receipt can unlock disproportionate gains in confidence and capacity.
Revenue, sales, and growth matter, but cash flow is what gives a business breathing room. And if you are constantly waiting for money to come in, it really affects everything. It affects your decisions, it affects your stress level, it affects your ability to hire, and really whether or not you can take on the next opportunity. And what Julia reminded us of today is that getting paid faster is not just a finance issue, it's really a leadership issue, and it's an operations issue, and it can also be a communications issue? So because leaders must build businesses that are not just busy, but they're healthy. And then ask, what's one change that we can make to improve cash flow? Because getting 1% better in cash flow can create a lot more than just 1% of financial relief. It can create confidence, it can create capacity and breathing room to be able to pursue your next big opportunity.
