## Resource

Growth and cash are inversely related — when one goes up, the other comes down. That's the nature of the trade-off. But knowing the trade-off exists and actually preparing for it are two very different disciplines. The mistake isn't pursuing growth. The mistake is pursuing growth without breathing room. You need to know your run rate, and account for it.
