On the final day of the Black Chamber Fort Wayne 2025 Juneteenth Business Symposium, President Ramadan Abdul-Azeez delivered a compelling presentation focused on the critical topic of cash flow, a top priority for business owners worldwide. During his address, President Abdul-Azeez provided valuable insights into managing and understanding cash flow, prompting attendees to reflect on essential financial questions, including: • What revenue is coming in? • What expenses are going out? • When are the business’s peak and slow seasons? • Are responsibilities such as bookkeeping, accounting, and sales being handled by one person? He emphasized the importance of recognizing the business cycle and the need to delegate and segregate responsibilities to ensure sustainable growth. President Abdul-Azeez also addressed the strategic use of credit, highlighting that while it can support cash flow, it should not become the sole financial lifeline. Instead, he encouraged disciplined repayment aligned with incoming sales. Finally, he urged participants to develop a proactive relationship with their finances, fostering both momentum and vision to achieve lasting financial success. (fb)
