Bootstrap - The Unglamorous Middle: Surviving the Cash Crunch Without Losing Your Mind

She delivers unflinching strategies for surviving tight runways: weekly cash tracking, revenue-first mornings, ruthless budgeting, and the three-bucket system that saved countless self-funded founders from collapse when the bank account screams and nobody's celebrating your resilience.
