He Asked Me How Long He Had. I Asked Him THIS Instead.

He asked me how long he had. I asked him THIS instead: how much risk are you actually willing to take if enforcement happens faster than you expect? In this episode, Chad Wade breaks down a conversation with a store owner considering a large inventory purchase before an upcoming cutoff. The potential upside was obvious—but so was the downside if his timing was wrong. That's why Chad believes store owners need to think beyond how much money they might make. Consider the inventory you're carrying, changing regulations, possible enforcement, legal expenses, and ultimately how much of your business you're willing to put at risk. You're going to make your own decisions. Just make sure you understand the consequences before you make the bet.
