Welcome to Here’s the Caveat! — where leadership gets real, excuses go to die, and wisdom wins every time.
Today, we’re talking about something that starts small… and ends in disaster. It’s called The Snowball Before the Avalanche.

You’ve seen it, that “no big deal” moment. The small compromise. The lazy decision. The “I’ll get to it later.” It doesn’t look dangerous. It doesn’t feel urgent. But here’s the Caveat… every avalanche starts with one careless snowball.

You see, failure rarely happens overnight. It builds, flake by flake, choice by choice, until one day, everything you’ve built is sliding downhill faster than you can stop it. In leadership, that’s where most people lose their footing, not in the crisis, but in the complacency that came before it.

Today, we’re going to talk about how to stop the snowball before it becomes the avalanche, in your business, your discipline, your thinking, and your leadership. Convenience doesn’t cause collapse, carelessness does. The good news is, with awareness, discipline, and wisdom, you can stop the slide before it starts.

Let’s get into it.
