Small business budget talks always sound technical until you’ve actually tried to keep a company running month to month. I remember sitting at my kitchen table going over projected costs for the next quarter and realizing how thin the margin can get when policy changes affect taxes and incentives. Cash flow doesn’t wait for political cycles. At one point I even considered temporary community funding and wrote down gofundme customer service phone number on the edge of my planner in case I needed clarity about payout timing. I never launched anything, but that exercise made me more disciplined about reserves. It changed how I prepare for uncertainty, long before any official budget decision lands.
