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

Not every “right decision” feels good at the time. When everyone tells you to reinvest, scale, go big—it takes discipline to slow down and say, “Not yet. Let’s check the numbers first.” Choosing cash flow over momentum can feel counterintuitive—but it’s often what separates long-term stability from short-term hype. Have you ever made a money decision that was tough—but necessary? Let’s talk about it below. #askmikeg #cashflow #smallbusiness

If you're waiting for the “right time” to start saving, that time rarely comes. Because it’s not about having extra cash—it’s about building the habit. Cash reserves aren’t just for big companies. They’re how small businesses survive slow seasons, delayed payments, and surprise expenses without panic or debt. Here’s what works: 💡 Set aside 1–2% of revenue, no matter how small. 💡 Cut the quiet leaks—subscriptions and tools you forgot you were paying for. 💡 Automate your savings so you don’t have to think about it. Still not sure where your cash is going—or where to start saving? Look for the link in the comment section to get the FREE quick questionnaire that shows where your money might be leaking. #askmikeg #cashflow #finance #cashflowmanagement #businessowners #entrepreneurs #businessgrowth #innovation #smallbusinessadvice #businessdevelopment #businessadvice #smallbusinessadvice #smallbusinesstips #businesstips

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

The mistake? Thinking growth meant spending more. It’s easy to believe the next tool, campaign, or hire will solve everything—until your cash flow thins out and the stress piles up. Real growth happens when every dollar is working harder than you are. More money doesn’t fix poor decisions—it magnifies them. What’s one lesson you’ve learned from a money mistake? Let’s trade notes—drop yours in the comments. #askmikeg #cashflow #finance #cashflowmanagement #businessowners #entrepreneurs #businessgrowth #innovation #smallbusinessadvice #businessdevelopment #businessadvice #smallbusinessadvice #smallbusinesstips #businesstips

Reinvestment should feel calculated—not chaotic. But for many business owners, it turns into a guessing game. New software? A marketing hire? A bigger inventory order? Here’s the filter to apply before you pull the trigger: 📌 Will it produce results within 90 days? 📌 Can I afford it without a loan or dipping into reserves? 📌 Will I still be okay if it takes longer than I think? Smart reinvestment means giving your business fuel—without setting fire to your cash flow. If growth is your goal, cash flow is your strategy. #askmikeg #cashflow #finance #cashflowmanagement #businessowners #entrepreneurs #businessgrowth #innovation #smallbusinessadvice #businessdevelopment #businessadvice #smallbusinessadvice #smallbusinesstips #businesstips
