This week, Dan and Donnie discuss how a pest or lawn company's profits can be reflected in P&L statements while cash is tied up in accounts receivable, vehicle financing, and other balance sheet items. They cover key strategies for managing cash flow, including creating weekly forecasts, being disciplined about debt usage, and paying yourself from cash rather than profit. Finally, they explain that cash is the most critical metric and running out of it will put you out of business immediately.
