We are delighted to host David Safeer, the creator of the Cash is Clear learning system, and a seasoned businessman with extensive experience in Fortune 50 and Fortune 100 companies.
Drawing on his career in business and consulting, David shares valuable insights from his transformative Cash is Clear program. He sheds light on common misconceptions related to cash flow and how it profoundly affects the sales, marketing, and operational aspects of a business. The discussion is especially enlightening for small businesses navigating their transition into larger operations which often presents challenges in managing cash flow.
In addition to identifying the problems, Safeer also suggests practical solutions.

Safeer suggests a different perspective, advocating for efficient cash flow systems as the foundational backbone of a successful business model.
This episode extends beyond basic financial management principles and touches on the vital aspect of mindset shift in handling cash flow. While many businesses focus on past financial records, Safeer advises on the necessity to anticipate and strategize for future financial decisions. He discusses the typical errors businesses make and emphasizes the need for a forward-thinking approach, underlining the role of the 5M model – Mindset, Modeling, Management, Mentoring, and Maximizing – in impacting cash flow positively.
Safeer explores the often-overlooked role of accountants in cash flow management, suggesting that they should not just report but proactively manage cash flow. He wraps up the episode by reiterating the importance of changing business mindsets to achieve a healthier financial state and extends an invite to struggling businesses to seek help and strategies for becoming more cash flow positive.
