If someone were to ask you about the state of your cash flow, would you be able to give an accurate response? According to today’s guest, Alan Miltz, most companies misunderstand their cash flow, and as a result, they don’t grow at the pace that they should. After seeing so many businesses unknowingly grappling with the same problem, Alan decided to found Cash Flow Story, a company that helps you optimize cash flow to help you improve your profits and reach new heights in your valuations. In our conversation, Alan breaks down the concept behind his method called The Power of One and how it has helped companies 40x their valuation. We discuss how daily 1% percent changes can transform your company and the typical amount of time it takes to see results after implementing The Power of One. Alan also unpacks the reasoning behind his motto “revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, cash is king” and why The Power of One will put your valuation on steroids.
