Here's a breakdown of the reports you should be reviewing monthly and how they can guide better decision-making.

Every business owner I know spends time thinking about growth. But not all growth is created equal. You can be incredibly busy and still not be building real value in your company.

The lesson is clear: start building these systems at least 2-3 years before you plan to sell. This owner's decades of hard work deserved a better outcome, but buyers can only pay for verifiable, transferable profit.
