While managing burn rate and runway is crucial, this advice oversimplifies financial health. Obsessing solely on cash flow can blind you to strategic growth opportunities that require upfront investment. Sometimes, a high burn is necessary to capture market share or build critical infrastructure that pays off later. Focus on efficient spending and unit economics, not just how fast money is disappearing, because growth at all costs isn't always negative if it's targeted and smart.
