How to Improve Cash Flow Management for Micro-Businesses

In the wake of 9/11, we remember those who lost their lives and honor their memory.
As micro-business owners, we are part of the fabric that makes up our communities and our nation.
We also know that one common risk micro-businesses face is cash flow problems.
This can occur due to many reasons, such as unforeseen events, unexpected expenses, delayed payments from our clients, or even a drop in sales.

Steve shares some tips and strategies that you can use to track your cash flow, identify potential problems early, take steps to prevent them, and be prepared for the unforseen.
