What do you think is some of the biggest factors of that, um, that statistic?

Right.

So we distill those challenges or the reasons for this statistic down into an acronym which we call the SIPS, S-I-P-S.
8:54
An easy way to think about it is that the first S stands for social connection, and that is losing all those people that you worked with, your team, your suppliers, your customers.

And in many cases for business owners, those social connections are all tied to the business but don't really stand the test of time when they're no longer engaged in the business.

So social connection is the S in the first letter of SIPS.
