Business Acumen Basics
‍

Here is a game board example of a team that has made good sales, represented by silver coins in the long-term Receivables area (60 - 90 Days), but the customers aren’t going to pay for a couple of months; meanwhile the team is out of cash, with a lot of debt, represented by red coins in the Loans and Payables area, coming due very soon (30 Days).

This situation clarifies the difference between profit and cash flow, and the need to plan for both.
