We’ll be watching the next few months closely to see whether this is a temporary slowdown or the beginning of a longer-term shift in the industry’s growth rate.” —Dan Gordon, CPA & CEPA, PCO Bookkeepers & M&A Specialists

A budget loses much of its value if you constantly change it to match what happened.

The original plan gives you something to measure against. When actual performance misses the target, that variance can show you where the business isn't performing as expected.

If you're expecting to lose 10–20% of your existing customer base, growing the business by 10% requires a lot more new business than the headline number suggests.

"You don't ever want to sell your business on a day that you're having a bad day or a bad week... You want to have a carefully crafted plan."
—Dan Gordon, CPA & CEPA

🎙️ In episode 1 of 2 about Dan's new book, "From CEO to Exit: The Ultimate Payday for Pest Control & Lawn Care Owners," he and Donnie discuss key exit planning concepts, including three gaps to consider:

• The Wealth Gap (difference between needed income and current assets)
• The Value Gap (improving multiples)
• The Price Gap (potential versus current sale value)

They also talk about the problem with "steakhouse math," misconceptions around multiples, and understanding adjusted EBITDA.
