Quotable Moments from Martin
- “If you're losing money, it will definitely affect your cash ultimately, and you need to do something about that.”
- “When you sell something to a customer on credit, you're in effect lending them money.”
- “Repayment of debt is not an expense, so it doesn't reduce your profitability. But, it does consume cash.”
- “What you bought with borrowed funds may or may not be an expense, but paying back debt is never an expense.”
- “The salary you earn as wages is an expense and reduces profit. The money you take out as draws is a distribution of profit. It doesn't reduce profit. It is a distribution of profit.”
- “If you don't know why you have excess cash, then you're likely, or at least prone, to misspend it.”
- “There are times when cash will exceed your expectations. And when that happens, we need to understand why it happened. So that we don't misspend the money and come to regret it when we need it later on.”
