The Two Pillars of Business Success: CASH FLOW & COMMUNICATION As a business owner, you know that growth is essential—but sustainable, profitable growth requires more than vision. It demands a disciplined focus on two critical areas: managing cash flow and fostering clear communication. I specialize in helping business owners like you turn strategic goals into actionable plans by focusing on these key areas: Optimized Cash Flow: By analyzing and enhancing your cash flow, I help ensure your business remains financially strong and agile, giving you the confidence to invest in growth and navigate challenges effectively. Aligned Communication: Both internally and externally, effective communication is essential to align your team with your goals, foster collaboration, and deliver a unified message to customers and stakeholders. Real life results... I started working with a small service based business. They had few processes in place and almost no financial insights. Fast forward 2 years and they got an offer to sell. We decided to turn it down and fast foward another 2 years and they got an offer they had to take. The value when I started working with them was around $2.5M and they sold for almost 3X that number. The changes we made were about managing cash flow and making sure the business could operate without the owners doing ALL the work. By nature, I am a curious leader who has experienced success, failure, and everything in between. (6X founder). I have been lucky enough to sell a few of those and go through bankruptcy. (not fun!) At age 28, a partner and I bought a struggling magazine for the travel industry. Four years later, after growing revenues by 7X and introducing a disruptive product we sold the company to a larger industry leader. (Winner) I was also a partner in a services company that grew from $750k to $7M in just 3 years. We grew too fast and made some mistakes. Over the next 2 years, I managed to keep parts of it alive but by 2011 I had to close it down. I went through some very dark times with this venture and I learned a few things. (Cash Flow is King) My wife and I started a nonprofit, Survive the Streets, 24 years ago, to help people who live in shelters or who are almost living on the streets. This has been extremely rewarding and eye-opening. (Helping Others is good)

Profits are great... but is your cash actually showing up? It’s easy to feel like things are going well when the numbers on paper look strong. ✅ Profit is up ✅ Sales are steady ✅ Business is “growing” But if your bank balance still feels tight… you’re not imagining it. You're probably missing something important. Unpaid invoices, poor billing systems, outdated pricing, or paying vendors too fast—these are quiet leaks that profit margins don’t reveal. So while your books say you’re thriving…your cash flow might be telling a different story. What’s one thing you wish you looked at sooner in your business finances? Drop it in the comments—I’d love to hear it. #askmikeg #cashflow #finance #cashflowmanagement #businessowners #entrepreneurs #businessgrowth #innovation #smallbusinessadvice #businessdevelopment #businessadvice #smallbusinesstips #businesstips

If you’re doing the work but waiting forever to get paid… that’s not business—it’s babysitting. Unpaid invoices can silently wreck your cash flow. You’re sending reminders, chasing checks, juggling due dates— and still stressing over cash while your revenue looks “fine” on paper. But here’s the thing: Getting paid faster doesn’t always mean being pushy. It means being strategic. It means tightening up your billing system. Rewarding fast payers. Setting clear expectations—before the project starts. Sometimes it means turning that pile of invoices into actual, usable cash. What’s one financial mistake you’ve learned the hard way? Let’s normalize talking about it—share yours below. #askmikeg #cashflow #finance #cashflowmanagement #businessowners #entrepreneurs #businessgrowth #innovation #smallbusinessadvice #businessdevelopment #businessadvice #smallbusinesstips #businesstips

Would you be interesting in discovering more money? If you could hire me as your cash improvement consultant for FREE, which problem would you want me to solve first? [POLL OPTIONS] - Help me take home more money from my business - Stop the cycle of barely covering my taxes - Create a system to track where every dollar goes - Build a cash reserve for unexpected expenses Comment below with what I missed or to elaborate on your choice. I'm creating new resources based on real-world problems, not theory. In my experience working with hundreds of businesses, most owners discover they're sitting on $3,000-$10,000 in monthly cash that could be going directly into their pockets with just a few simple adjustments to their cash and profit management. Is that happening in your business too? #BusinessFinance #CashFlowManagement #SmallBusinessSuccess #askmikeg

You’re making money. So why does it still feel like you’re broke? It’s because revenue ≠ profit. You can bring in $10K, $50K, even $100K a month—and still end up with a single lonely dollar to show for it. Why? Because by the time you pay your team, cover taxes, pay for tools, ads, insurance, and that “free trial” you forgot to cancel… Your money’s gone before you ever get paid. This is the part no one tells you when you start a business: Revenue looks good on paper. Cash flow is what keeps you in business. Be honest—have you ever looked at your numbers and thought: “Where the heck did all the money go?” Drop a 💸 in the comments if that hit. #askmikeg #cashflow #finance #cashflowmanagement #businessowners #entrepreneurs #businessgrowth #smallbusinessadvice #profitmargin #businessmoney #businesstips #smallbusinesstips #founderlife #payyourselffirst

You won’t know what you’re missing… if you’re not tracking it. Most business owners don’t lose control of their finances overnight. It happens slowly—because they weren’t watching the numbers closely enough. If you want to stop reacting and start leading, build a simple cash dashboard: ✅ Know how much cash you actually have ✅ Track what’s overdue ✅ Spot patterns in burn rate and cash movement ✅ Make smarter decisions—before things get tight You don’t need complex software to do this. You need visibility. Because what gets measured gets managed—and cash flow is no exception. What makes it hard for you to stay on top of your finances each week? Drop it in the comments—I’d love to hear what gets in the way. #askmikeg #cashflow #finance #cashflowmanagement #businessowners #entrepreneurs #businessgrowth #innovation #smallbusinessadvice #businessdevelopment #businessadvice #smallbusinesstips #businesstips

Give it a listen and let me know your biggest takeaway! 👉 https://bit.ly/437l791 #CashflowIsKing #SmallBusinessGrowth #EntrepreneurMindset #StartupLife #LeadershipMatters #CommunicationSkills #FounderJourney #BusinessTips #PodcastGuest #AccelerateYourBusiness

    You’re making sales… but somehow there’s very little in the bank. Sound familiar? That’s how cash problems start. Quiet. Unseen. Easy to explain away—until one day you’re working nonstop and wondering where all the money went. It’s not always about overspending. Sometimes it’s late invoices. Or overbuying inventory that just sits. Or paying vendors too fast while clients pay slow. Or running a business with no cushion, hoping nothing goes wrong. It doesn’t feel urgent—until it is. The good news? You can fix this. But first, you’ve got to spot where it starts. What’s one money habit or decision you wish you got right earlier? Let me know in the comments—I’d love to hear it. #askmikeg #cashflow #finance #cashflowmanagement #businessowners #entrepreneurs #businessgrowth #innovation #smallbusinessadvice #businessdevelopment #businessadvice #smallbusinessadvice #smallbusinesstips #businesstips

    I had to learn these the hard way—so you don’t have to. When I started my business, no one told me: 1️⃣ You’re allowed to sell to the same client twice. 2️⃣ Your offer is worthless if people don’t understand the outcome. 3️⃣ Being busy isn’t the same as being profitable. These might sound obvious now—but they weren’t when I needed them most. And once they clicked? Everything got simpler—and way more profitable. What’s one business realization no one ever told you—but you wish they had? Drop it in the comments—I’d love to hear it. #askmikeg #cashflow #businessadvice #entrepreneurjourney #businessowners #pricingstrategy #clientretention #founderlessons #smallbusinesstips #businesstips #profitmindset #onlinebusiness

    After helping businesses recover over $4.2M in 'hidden' cash last year, I'm creating something new. I'm developing a new cash management intensive for business owners, and I'd value your input. Here's the concept: In just a few hours, I'll show a select group of business owners 4 unique strategies to optimize their cash flow and increase their personal take-home pay by $5,000-$10,000 monthly, without disrupting their business operations. On a scale of 1-10, how valuable would this be for you? More importantly - what would make this a "10" for you? What specific element would make you say "I NEED this!"? What could I bring to that offer that makes it an easy yes for you? Comment below or message me directly with your thoughts. Your candid feedback shapes what I create next. #BusinessFinance #CashFlowManagement #BusinessGrowth #askmikeg
