Introduction

"These are the times that try men's souls" (Thomas Paine, The Crisis, 1776)

As financial troubles roll through the economy, many--possibly, most--companies are seeking ways to ensure their survival. The purpose of this blog is to provide helpful information to

• Businesses, whether they are publicly held or owned by private equity, family, or employees
• Boards of Directors
• Trusted business advisors to whom businesses and their owners turn in times of trouble; e.g., accountants, attorneys, bankers, insurance agents, financial advisors, investment bankers

Based upon my experience as an award-winning turnaround expert, I plan to provide practical advice, comments, and tools that readers can use to improve their business prospects both now and in the future.
