Firing people is never fun - about the only good thing that can be said about firing is the more you do the better you become at it. It is pretty obvious to say don’t run out of money, the trap to avoid is thinking that if you can just hold out another week everything will be OK. I nearly fell into this myself and to this day I don’t know if I fired everyone too soon or not. Would the contract have come through if I held out a month longer or would I just have got myself into a deep hole that I could not get out of? The reason I did pull the plug when I did is I had decided long before that if we ever reached a minimum bank balance I would pull the plug. I think if I had not had this concrete number I might have tried holding out that little bit longer.
