Years of sacrifice. Early mornings and interrupted dinners. Decisions no one elsecould make. A company that runs — because you are always there to run it.That is exactly the problem.Owner dependency isn't a flaw. It is the natural result of competence, commitment, and years ofdoing what needed to be done. But what once made the business succeed is steadily becomingthe thing that puts it at risk.Every owner exits their business.
