I believe there are 2 approaches to building a business…
I think of them as the ‘Balance Sheet (B/S)’ way and the ‘Profit & Loss (P&L)’ way.
Each approach is unique, with its own advantages and disadvantages.

A business that:
Borrows money from Investors.
Spends that money on building technology, marketing, R&D, IP creation etc. Stuff that consumes money without making
money.
Spends first, earns much later.

A business that:
Begins by generating revenues from its operations almost immediately.
Spends money on salaries and other operating costs to generate revenue.
Earns revenue first, builds assets later.
