For a long time, I assumed that profitability meant safety. If a business was making money, I believed it was stable. Over time, I realised profit alone can be misleading. Many businesses fail not because they aren’t profitable, but because deeper issues remain hidden. Profits show up on paper, but they don’t always reflect cash flow strength, execution quality, or long-term resilience. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒐𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒈𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒘𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈? 💸 Profits without cash flow discipline. 📈 Growth without scalable systems. ⚠️ Weak governance and delayed risk awareness. 🔄 Overdependence on limited products or markets. Growth can hide inefficiencies until liquidity tightens or confidence breaks. When that happens, profitability offers little protection. 📌 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Profit is an outcome, not a guarantee. Resilient businesses focus on cash flow, execution, and adaptability and not just earnings.

Two companies can report the same profit. Yet one constantly struggles with cash, while the other quietly builds a buffer. This used to confuse me until I started paying attention to how cash actually moves. Some businesses collect money quickly an

When I analyse businesses, free cash flow is the metric I trust the most. Profits can look strong on paper, but cash flow shows whether a company can actually fund growth, service debt, and survive tough cycles. What free cash flow quietly tells us:
