“How little I had been prepared for succession.”

That’s what Rich Hornbaker said when we asked what surprised him most about planning the next chapter of Hornbaker Gardens, a destination nursery, garden center, and arboretum he and his wife, Kathy, founded in Central Illinois in 1987.

Today, Rich and his daughter, Molly Blogg, co-own the business, with Molly as CEO and majority owner. In a new Greenhouse Grower article, Chris Cimaglio of BEST | PivotPoint Business Solutions shares four lessons from their experience preparing for the next generation.

Molly’s advice to the next generation: “Make sure you’re having the hard conversations.”

Thank you, Rich and Molly, for sharing your story. Family business owners: When did your family first talk about what comes next?

Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorganChase, has sounded the alarm: the American Dream is “slipping out of reach for too many people.”

What led Mr. Dimon to say that? Interest rates? Affordability? Energy? Labor? Tariffs? All of the above? No. It is the “Silver Tsunami.” Chase’s new “Powering 10 Million Small Businesses” report found that while 70% of business owners have started considering succession, just 8% have reached an advanced stage of planning.

In his latest Greenhouse Grower article, BEST PivotPoint’s Cimaglio explores what Mr. Dimon’s American Dream warning means for the green industry, including the demographics, owners' reluctance to leave their business, and practical steps owners can take today to move from paralysis to progress.

The Silver Tsunami is here, whether owners plan for it or not, but the outcome isn’t fixed. You have far more power over your future than you think.

"We're hitting a stand-up double. Not a home run, but not bad."

That's how Dr. Charlie Hall described the green industry in his latest State of the Industry talk at . Sales are up. Demand has held since 2020. But in his latest Greenhouse Grower article, BEST PivotPoint's Chris Cimaglio makes the case that the numbers tell a harder truth, and it is one every greenhouse owner should sit with.

The uncomfortable reality: working harder, or "sweat equity," no longer moves the needle the way it used to. Here's why.

• Growth has plateaued since the pandemic highs, and net profit is split nearly down the middle: 61% of growers are up, and 41% are down.
• Input costs are up 23% since 2019, and EBITDA margins keep compressing.
• Here's the one that stops people: 12 months after selling, 75% of owners say they profoundly regretted the decision. Usually because they sold a business that depended entirely on them, at a moment they didn't choose, unprepared.

Here’s the shift that matters: 70–75% of your company's value can live in intangible assets most owners never deliberately build. The biggest value-killer we see? Owner-dependency, or when the business can't run without you.

The good news: sweat equity doesn't compound, but value built on purpose does, whether you choose to transition next year or run it for another decade.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Aretha spelled it out almost 60 years ago, and it may be the most underused hiring strategy in the green industry today.

In his new piece, Downing makes a case that has nothing to do with recruiting software: the biggest edge you can offer a candidate is transparency.

A few ideas from the article worth sitting with:
💡 Stop hunting the "purple squirrel." The candidate with every qualification on your wish list doesn't exist.
💡 If a first-year goal wouldn't get someone fired for missing it, it's probably not a real KPI.
💡 Three interview rounds is usually plenty. Past five, your best candidates are already talking to someone else.
💡 "Consistent communication builds trust. Silence destroys it."

In today's talent market, transparency isn't a best practice anymore. It's a competitive advantage. Todd lays out how to build it into your process.
