Where Entrepreneurship Fits into the Cash Flow System

We love Entrepreneurship.  Business owners emphasize and focus on cash flow over accumulation.

To have a successful business, you need a valuable product, a hungry crowd, and to be in a great position where the hungry crowd can see your valuable product.

And that's it.

If you're on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Google Plus, that's fine. But why are you there?

Are you there because your customers are there? Are you there because you have a plan on how to generate business from there? Or are you there because somebody said you have to be there?
