OM DENNE EPISODE
Cash flow is one of the most misunderstood parts of running a business, and this week's episode of Referrals Done Right breaks down why. Scott Grates sits down with global cash flow authority David Safeer to explore the surprising reality that many profitable businesses still fail because they run out of cash. Together they unpack the difference between profit and cash flow, why timing matters more than most business owners realize, and how looking only at financial statements can create a false sense of security.
David shares practical strategies for forecasting cash flow, making better financial decisions, and uncovering the root causes behind cash shortages. The conversation also explores the emotional side of business ownership, the importance of making decisions with both data and perspective, and why human relationships will continue to matter in an AI driven world. Whether you're a business owner, sales leader, or entrepreneur, this episode offers actionable insights that can help you build a healthier and more resilient business.
