Droughts
When Covid hit, my clients' project / deal timelines got pushed to the right.
I went 9 months without a penny of cash flow.
It stunk.
Perhaps I should have taken out a PPP loan, but I felt like part of being an entrepreneur is taking risk, and part of being a citizen is not taking handouts if you don't truly need them.
What a precious display of naïveté.
Fast forward and I'm six months in to building a new business, dis-saving to validate pmf.
Very useful data collection exercise. But writing checks to go to work gets old.
