Valid point, so how do you apply this same philosophy to a business that's up and running but short on cash & needs to purchase materials & inventory in order to fill orders?

Some of the failed marine businesses mentioned are barely in the same decade as the others, so I'm not sure I follow.
What is the point?

I don’t claim to be the best business owner around, but if you can’t pay the bills while business is good, you’re already in a spiral. Something should have been done a while back.

SB- This thread probably could use something to take the edge off & lighten the tone, didn't mean to jump your chit. I just didn't follow.
hblair- In general we all have our own assumptions that a particular business is doing well but unless we are involved or know people that work there we really just have our own perception. Uber is a perfect example. I bet if you ask most if they noticed how much Uber has grown over the years & whether they think it's a successful business their response will be YES. Unfortunately it's actually loosing millions but keeps on trucking.
Don't get me wrong, I've never owned my own business so I'm no authority on the topic but I also don't believe it's as cut and dry as we make it out to be.
If owning a business was easy & resulted in guaranteed success we'd all have our own but no employees b/c there would be none to be found.
Just one mans $.02.
