This information can help you make informed decisions about where to allocate your resources. If you’re experiencing the same or similar situation, no worries. You can expect to spend more money when you’re making more money. However, you still want to keep an eye on your cash flow. That also includes planning to increase your revenue. That leads us to step 3.
