Cashsucks vs cashflow businesses
|
A couple of years ago I learned the difference between a cashsuck business and a cashflow business and that I a lot of times have sucked at making cash do to this little difference. Here is the difference between the two kind of businesses: In a cashsuck business you provide your service and then you get your money. In a cashflow business you get your money and then you provide your service. In a cashsuck business you only make money 3-4 times a year. In a cashflow business you earn money continuously during a year. In a cashsuck business you have 3-4 big clients and if they leave you are in trouble. In a cashflow business you have lots of different clients that diversifies your risk. In a cashsuck business your service is customized to each client. In a cashflow business your service is productized so you deliver the same again and again. A cashsuck business that does 1 mio Euro in revenue and a cashflow business that does 1 mio Euro in revenue are not worth the same thing. When starting, building or buying a business always go for the cashflow business that is repeatable, predictable and de-risked. I learned this lesson the hard way:) |

It might be new to some but here is a bold statement…humans don´t make rational decisions. In traditional economics a person is expected to weight the benefits and drawbacks of an action and choose the option in their own self-interest. We have all been educated to think this is true in business as well as in life but everyone that have observed real life behavior of people know that this is not right. In the high-speed society that we live in today real-world choices are very often...
We tend to look for the new hot thing in business and believe that is where we find growth. That might be true for a minority of businesses but for the majority the future growth of a business is looking at the past. Meaning what have not changed and what have been around for a long time. Where this way of thinking can be used as a framework for taking strategic decisions inside a business, I will use it to celebrate all the boring business that nobody talks about, the ones that have not...
