Rich Schefren and the business growth system is responsible for the success of a lot of internet entrepreneurs who were able to multiply their profits with his type of coaching philosophy.The webinar he held on April 19th 2007 was presented within the contest of the Top Internet Marketer of the Year.

Profitability is based on invoicing and the relationship of costs, either expended or accrued, to those sales. The actual payment of expenses or receipt of invoice payments can, and often do, occur in periods different that when the sales occurred, so that cash flow can be widely different from reported profit in any period.
Cash Flow is based on changes in cash balance and can be affected by changes in assets that don’t affect profitability. Allowing inventories to build or accounts receivable to go uncollected and grow can have a tremendous cash draining effect on the business. In effect you are converting cash to an investment in these other assets.
During a period of strong growth even a very profitable business can (and usually will) experience cash flow problems. Therefore, corporate growth or sales success should not be viewed as a reason to stop performing a cash flow forecast. On the contrary, it is more important, even critical, that management has access to timely cash management information during growth periods.
Just as many businesses have succumbed to poor cash management as have been adversely affected by bad profitability. It is imperative, therefore, that cash be monitored and managed efficiently, separate and apart from budgeting and auditing of profit performance.
There are two types of cash flow forecasting that can be done: short term and long term. We focus in this article on short term forecasting only.

Typically for short term forecasting the time period is expressed in weeks and covers a projection of 4 to 8 weeks out. As a minimum, the cash flow forecast should take into consideration the following possibilities:

Cash Balance Day1, Week 1

The goal of cash flow forecasting is to determine deficiencies or excesses in cash position that may occur in the business during the periods for which the projection is prepared. In the event projected cash balance goes negative or below a safety factor, financial plans must be altered, either to provide more cash through aggressive collections, loans, draws on lines of credit, increased (cash) sales, and/or delaying payments as necessary, until a proper cash balance is reached.
If excessive cash is projected, it may indicate idle money that could be put to other possible uses such as prepaying expenses or for investment into short-term money market instruments. The objective is to develop a plan that, if followed, will provide a well-managed flow of cash and its efficient, optimum use.
