Great post on the importance of keeping track of where you are financially. One of the best arguments for the bootstrap approach, by the way, is that when you start with little or no money and grow using only cash flow, it's kind of tough to spend anything above what your business is making. It's true this kind of business model won't work with just any small business, especially capital intensive ones, but it's something to keep in mind when thinking about how much you really need for startup.
