After an influx of cash (like a big tax refund), the smart cookie starts thinking about reducing their debts... such as high-interest credit cards.

Think about it: You pay a lot for this credit and the balances on your high-interest accounts build up fast, making the stuff you buy more expensive.

Chip away at this debt whenever you get an influx, and you’ll do your wallet and your credit score a BIG favor.

These TWO things you're doing in your business might make you feel like you're saving money, but they could actually be killing your cash flow when you need it the most:

🗓️ Annual vs Monthly Subscriptions – Annual subscriptions are cheaper. But is that annual subscription cost gutting your cash flow when you need it most?

Beware the cash flow trap on this one. That big chunk of money upfront might come at a time when you need it most, like for seasonal inventory spikes or unexpected repairs.

Consider switching to monthly payments if the cost difference is negligible or less important than your need for positive cash flow. Or stagger annual subscriptions throughout the year.

🚛 Buying in Bulk – We all know inventory buying gets cheaper the more you buy. But is that bulk deal hindering your ability to pay your other bills or make important investments?

A different idea: consider just-in-time inventory management. This strategy allows you to order inventory closer to when you actually need it, minimizing storage costs and keeping your cash flowing freely.
