The Cost of Waiting

"In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing." - Unknown*

The most expensive decision a business owner can make is the one they keep postponing. Every year without systems, a plan, a valuation, or a prepared team is compounding risk dressed up as stability. The owners who exit on their terms didn't have perfect timing — they simply decided to act before the decision was made for them.
