Burn rate is how much money your business spends per month. If you spend $5,000/month and bring in $3,000, your net burn rate is $2,000/month. That is the gap you need to close.
Most freelancers track income but not expenses. They know what they earned last month but cannot tell you how much they spent. That blind spot is why profitable-looking businesses run out of cash.
