Is forecasting in small business a game-changer or just another crystal ball gimmick? Mike and Blaine dive into the pros, cons, and occasional absurdities of trying to predict the future with spreadsheets. Can you really see what’s coming, or are you just guessing with extra steps? 

Tune in as Mike and Blaine debate whether forecasting is a must-have strategy or a total waste of time. Spoiler: One of us loves a good forecast, and the other thinks it's as reliable as a weather app. 

Don't miss the latest insights and entertaining discussions on entrepreneurship, small business, and random BS. Subscribe, follow, and like Mike and Blaine's "Business, Beer, and BS" and catch every episode!
