Business Has Changed ... Now What?

You've sacrificed a lot for your company . . . worked long hours and taken risks. Until recently, it was worth it. The business ran well; you earned a good living and it was fun coming to work.

Today, things have changed. Cash is tight; the daily grind is wearing you down; and uncertainty is keeping you up at night.

This isn't where you want to be, but here you are.

Now what?

How To Avoid Business Failure

A Business Turnaround can work wonders if you are ready to get back on track. You will need to make some changes, and I can guide you through them. The tough part is accepting that what you are doing isn't working, and more of the same won't solve the problem.

While this may seem like a blinding grasp of the obvious, I meet business owners every week who confuse denial with a river in Eqypt.

Seriously, it has been my experience that those who survive harness their emotions and take action. Those who don't eventually fail.

The Big Questions

Like any responsible business owner, you have questions about what you are reading here. The three I get most often are:

---'What can a turnaround specialist do that I can't do myself?'

A specialist is trained in financial and operational turnaround techniques, which are very different than normal business practices. Also, a specialist can see and correct problems you may be unware of, because he is not emotionally attached to your business.

---'I've already cut expenses - what else is there?'

Quite a bit, actually. Achieving positive cash flow and repairing gross profit margins are top of the list, followed closely by dealing with ''sacred cows.''

And, you especially want to know:

---'If I hire you to help me, do you have a proven strategy I can rely on?'

Yes, I do.

''You can rehabilitate most any company by making it smaller so it produces positive cash flow, while you develop a turnaround plan creditors will accept. Then, you implement that plan.''

It should come as no surprise that creditors view professional guidance as confirmation you are serious about turning your business around (not to mention repaying the debt).

P.S. It is very rare for a small business to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In most every Chapter 11 case, the business runs out of cash and is liquidated via Chapter 7. The lawyers and accountants get their fees, but you lose the company. Despite what you hear, filing Chapter 11 will not fix a cash-starved business.
