Did they all make money? So how did I manage the risk? My approach parallels my 17 years of Wall Street experience. I looked at the business opportunity as an investment. In simple terms, I consider the monetary risks and the financial rewards. The initial question I ask myself is how much money am I willing to invest to realize a certain percentage of profit?
I think of the business opportunity and the investment no different than a stock purchase. What amount of money would I invest in a stock to realize an absolute gain? The tough part is determining how much you are willing to lose. The difficulty is knowing when to cut your losses. Whenever I purchase a stock or start a business, I determine how much I am willing to invest and maybe more importantly, how much I am prepared to lose.
To do this, you need to be extremely disciplined. The challenge for most people is you become too emotionally attached to the business. This strategy serves me well. You must know your numbers.
You need to understand how long you can survive at your current churn rate. Losing some money is OK. Losing it all and not having some dry powder to try again is not. All that matters is that you are the one pouring the water. Determining the appropriate time to shutter a business is one of the great challenges for any owner.

Unfortunately, knowing when to shutter a business is not an easy or simple decision. In most cases, the leases, cash flow and compensation for senior executives were major contributing factors. I was seriously considering closing it down and dispersing the employees and clients.
I decided to fund it for one more year. That loss turned into a meaningful gain. So the secret sauce, according to experts, is ensuring you have sufficient cash runway to get momentum for a startup or turn the tides with a struggling business.
Is there enough cash in the bank to keep going and get through the current stage or is the company running out? Negative cash flow means a decision whether to keep going needs to be made soon.
Quitting is not a surrender and it does not mean that you are a failure.
