Most overhead doesn’t look unreasonable when you approve it.
That’s how it gets you.
It’s $100 here. $500 there. Another employee you needed. Another service that made life easier.
I’ve watched those perfectly reasonable decisions pile up until the business needed every month to be a good month just to keep everything moving.
That’s when I’d start paying attention.
Your overhead shouldn’t require perfect sales to work.
Give the business enough room to have a slower month, make an adjustment, and keep moving.
That breathing room matters.
