Write the week's cash on one page

Micro Venture Desk · January 13, 2023

Write the week's cash on one page. This desk note is about the cash that came in and went out this week. It fits a business that still has one decision-maker.

Sequence

Do it in this order: list the ins and the outs with dates, then stop. Stop when the next step needs a number you do not have. Inventing the number is not a step.

The habit to drop

The expensive habit is a total with no dates under it. Replace it with a line on paper you can find next week.

The note is done when every line has a date and a source. If a customer, a supplier, or a tax date is involved, use the real date, not a rounded one.

The "The week's money" page stays practical only while it names an owner and a next action. The cash that came in and went out this week without a next action is a wish.

A desk note. It does not predict revenue, and it is not tax, legal, or accounting advice.
