When the growth plan would consume more working capital than the company has above its safety floor, chasing that plan can push the business through the very liquidity line it needs to stay behind. Founders often discover this the hard way, growing into a cash crunch, when the smarter move is to fund the growth first, slow the pace, or arrange financing before committing.
