You may have heard the adage that if you don?t know where you?re heading, any road will take you there. I think people have a natural yearning to have some sort of a passage, a next step, or an end game in mind. Yet, most business owners lack a well-defined plan for exiting their business. This condition may be more acute among custom home builders just because of the very nature of the industry. Construction is a very easy entry type of business. It requires little capital or credentials to get in, and companies have very few tangible assets that have real transferrable value.
