A common cause of failure among startups is the business owner running out of cash before
the business has time to become successful. The interplay between the financial conditions of a
business and the financial situation of the owner is something that many entrepreneurs fail to
plan for when they launch a new business. This course explains how the finances of the
business and its owner are intertwined, including cash flow and debt. We also explore ways in
which an entrepreneur can more effectively manage the personal side of this financial equation
to ensure that their business has the best chance for survival from startup through its maturity.
Finally, we look at the paths entrepreneurs have available to build personal wealth.
