For Father’s Day, I got my husband a Boys in Blue T-shirt—because in our house, we’re die-hard Dodgers fans.
And, of course, we’re all still buzzing about Shohei Ohtani’s $700 million contract.
Except… here’s what most people don’t realize:
He’s not getting all $700M up front.
In fact, he’s only taking $2M/year during his playing contract—and deferring the other $680M over the next two decades.
Why? Cash flow.It’s not that the Dodgers didn’t want to pay him.
It’s that they needed to structure the money in a way that didn’t cripple their operations or block other deals.

The Dodgers managed their cash flow so they could say yes to the superstar without saying no to everything else.
Sound familiar? So many business owners are “profitable” on paper…
But there’s no money in the bank.

That’s because your P&L tells one story, but your cash flow tells the truth.
- You made $40K in profit, but you’re short on payroll.
- You’ve got deposits for next quarter, but your credit cards are maxed.
- You’ve invoiced clients, but payments haven’t cleared.
That’s why we teach entrepreneurs to forecast cash—not just review P&L reports.
Because just like the Dodgers, you need a plan for every dollar, so you’re never stuck making decisions in panic mode. That’s why we help business owners set up banking systems that make cash flow visual and actionable.
