Having consistent cashflow is one of the hardest parts about being self-employed, especially when youre just starting your business. To improve cashflow, I recommend subcontracting as a way to generate income while you continue to build your own business. It can be difficult for veterans, too!
It is also the case that the companies generating the highest immediate cashflows, which should be overvalued on the myopia theory, historically have had the highest stock market returns , implying undervaluation rather than overvaluation. It has a reasonable methodology.
However, there will be times when you have to feel the cashflow pressure and need to find clients.right now! Do you focus your energy on selling yourself, your mission or methodology OR do you position yourself as a strategic partner who is ready to help solve a clients most pressing business performance challenges.

When weather conditions are on average adverse over days, weeks, or entire seasons, shortfalls in sales cause reduced cashflows and can lead to financial distress and business failure. Research shows that abnormal weather disrupts the operating and financial performance of 70% of businesses worldwide. These disruptions add up.
What can you afford: CashFlow Cashflow is king for small business. So first, you must check what size of investment your cashflow can accommodate. Don't use more than 25% of your free cashflow for a consulting project to leave enough room for other growth related investments. If yes, great.
Methodologies : The second red-flag topic is the improper use of valuation methodologies. In the Discounted Future CashFlow method profits are projected (same as the first issue) and discounted back to a present value. An outsider may ask, how is this possible?
There are, of course, heavily analytical cases which use advanced statistics, or proprietary out-of-the-box methodologies which use statistical analysis in the background, such as A/B testing or optimisation problems. There are no statistical analyses to prove whether a ten-year cashflow projection will be correct.
A new methodology, which we call customer-based corporate valuation (CBCV), holds the answer to both of these – and other similarly critical – questions. We apply the methodology to two public companies, DISH Network and Sirius XM Satellite Radio, to show that the methodology has excellent performance in practice.
