You know, we all have those insights and perspectives that we hear from someone that change the trajectory. And this is not just another, oh, how do you do better marketing.

I'm either going to have an elegant exit or my company's going to go bankrupt. I'm never going to go to anyone. It's going to be handed off to a family member or someone in a bad way. Or I'm going to be so ill prepared that by the time comes when I'm forced to sell it, I'm going to get nothing for it. In worst cases, totally screwed and taken advantage of. Or if I start doing this stuff right now, I actually can have this amazing, wonderful thing happen that I don't even know is possible until we start putting them on that path.
