Some key takeaways on bulletproofing your business:

• The first thing you need to bulletproof your business is to become cash flow positive. You should be bringing in more money than you’re spending every month, and you should also be bringing in enough to pay yourself a market rate salary.
• Make sure you set aside money for taxes. This might seem like a no-brainer, but if you were cash flow positive in a given year, you will receive a tax bill the following year. You could get stuck with a major expense if you didn’t pay estimated taxes, or if you didn’t set aside enough money to pay come tax time.
• Pay off all your business debt and personal debt. This will keep you from intentionally operating out of scarcity, but it also ensures that you aren’t funneling a ton of revenue into high-interest payments when you could use that money to invest in something else.
