The “Feast or Famine” cycle isn’t a sales problem. It’s a cash management problem. 🎢
Most service providers, agencies, and founders face seasonal or cyclical revenue. One month you hit $30k, the next month you land at $5k.
The mistake isn’t having low months; the mistake is lifestyle and business creep during the high months.
When a $30k month hits, the dopamine spikes. You want to upgrade your tech, hire more contractors, and increase your lifestyle spending. Then, the dry spell hits, and the panic sets in.
How to build a financial shock-absorber:
Establish a Tax/Revenue Buffer Account: Set up a separate business savings account completely unlinked from your main debit card.
Normalize the Peaks: When a giant cash infusion happens, transfer the surplus out of sight.
Pay a Consistent Baseline: Pay yourself and your business expenses the exact same amount every single month, regardless of whether it was a $5k month or a $50k month. Use the buffer account to top things off during the lean times.
When you flatline the peaks, you eliminate the valleys.
👇 Drop a “🙌” if you’re ready to get off the revenue rollercoaster this quarter.
