The Real Cost of the ConversationsYou're Avoiding

There's a conversation you've been putting off. The underperformer you keep working around. The client who's no longer a fit. The team member who believes something about their future that isn't going to happen.

Most owners treat avoiding that conversation as a neutral act, a pause, not a decision. It isn't. Avoidance has a price, it compounds, and your best people are usually the ones paying it.

In this episode, Rich breaks down the four conversations service business owners avoid most, what that avoidance actually costs, and a practical method for having the conversation well, even if you handle it imperfectly.

In this episode, Rich covers:

The four conversations owners avoid,performance, expectations, clients, and the ones close to home
