I deal with failing businesses on a daily bases. I have the unique opportunity to witness first hand all the short comings of the previous business owner(s) and their top managements inabilities to plainly see the obvious operational failures staring them directly in the face, mmm, this within it's self could be some of the problem, maybe, they are unaware of the failures, just maybe, they don't know how to fix problems. I have heard it said, that " Anyone can see problems, however, it takes someone with talent to fix problems" maybe I take for granted my abilities or talents in fixing problems, after all, it's what I do on a daily bases. To me there is nothing more fulfilling then to take a bankrupt business and turn her around, to restore the integrity, the profitability and of course the public and employee confidence. The rush is second to none, I love my job.
I would like to leave everyone with this quote, "Businesses don't go out of business because they lost millions, they go out of business because they lose their cents.
