The Hidden Pitfalls of Early Cannabis Industry Success

A not-so-secret “secret” about being in the cannabis industry: If you’re fortunate enough to operate a cannabis business in the early years of a state’s program—when both prices and demand are high—don’t mistake that success for believing you have successful business operations.

 

Many cannabis business owners fall into a common trap: high revenue leads them to believe their business is well-run. Thus, they maintain the status quo, neglect to correct poor habits, remain disorganized, and make decisions without a clear rationale. Despite these flaws, the money keeps coming in…until it doesn’t. When the market inevitably shifts, supply increases, and prices begin to plummet, only the well-managed businesses survive.

 

As the cannabis industry evolves, the key to long-term success is more than just riding the “green rush” of early profits. It’s about building a solid foundation with robust operations, strategic planning, and a forward-thinking approach.
