Key Takeaways Endgame planning is good business planning and is not defined by hitting a specific revenue milestone like $10M, but by reaching your personal Freedom Point where business value and lifestyle costs align so work becomes optional rather than mandatory. Most founders underestimate the gap between headline valuations and actual net proceeds after taxes, transaction costs, and deal structure, turning a $10M valuation into something closer to $4.5M of usable capital.

Key Takeaways Hail damage often appears as dark spots and soft areas on shingles. While some subtle signs may not be visible from ground level, other indicators like granule loss in gutters or dents in metal components can sometimes be spotted, though professional assessment remains crucial for accurate detection. Denver's location in 'Hail Alley' brings 3-4 catastrophic storms annually, creating cumulative damage that weakens roofing systems over time. Professional inspections catch structural damage beyond visible shingles, protecting insurance coverage through proper documentation. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles offer superior protection against extreme hail conditions while potentially reducing insurance premiums. Granule loss and metal component dents signal underlying damage that accelerates UV deterioration and shortens roof lifespan.

Nebraska spring doesn't build slowly. It hits. Temperatures cross fifty degrees and suddenly every dormant pest colony underground is active. For Omaha homeowners and business owners, the stretch from late February through April is the most important time to get ahead of pest control .
