Introduction

Small Business Survival Tip #3: Control Your Cash: Hey all, Dr. Paul Borosky, MBA, here — business consultant. Here’s your tip number three for the Small Business Survival Guide: control your cash.

Understanding Today’s Economic Challenges

Just a few years ago, many small business owners benefited from a pandemic-driven abundance of cash. Today, however, we face a completely different environment.
Inflation is climbing, and major organizations are laying off employees. Many of these individuals are starting their own small businesses or doing gig work, leading to increased competition in the marketplace.

External Disruptions and Market Forces

Two major disruptive forces are shaping our business environment:

1. Government Regulations and Tariffs – These are changing constantly, sometimes weekly.

2. AI Innovations – Rapidly adopted by large organizations, yet still misunderstood by many small businesses.

This combination creates an unprecedented environment for doing business. I don’t say that lightly — just ask ChatGPT (I did!).

The Key: Control Your Cash Flow

The solution? Cash flow.
Know it. Understand it. Control it.
Times are tight now and will likely tighten even more over the next six months. Understanding your cash streams and using your funds for their highest and best purpose can literally mean the difference between surviving and shutting down.
