Yes, my blog has been very successful. It's been viewed by hundreds of thousands of anxious business owners wondering how to survive the downturn and resolve crushing debt in view of plummeting revenues, wondering what to do about businesses that are no longer profitable and how to survive and succeed in this horrendous business decline. I have been writing for a few years about exactly what to do and how to do it. Many have paid close attention and have followed my strategies... and many have survived because of it.
But, as we can all agree, a blog is a slightly more disorganized and difficult medium to navigate than a book. No real contents or organization, just daily posts on relevant topics. A hodgepodge of ideas.
Given how important these subjects are---your business survival, your financial survival and the survival of your family and your employees and their families---I have converted this blog into my first book: Let's Talk Business... Successfully Navigating the Recession. This book explores what one must do to survive the economic downturn, including chapters on debt workouts. These are lessons learned in the front lines of small business hand-to-hand combat, what works and what doesn't work.
My second book (in the works), also based on my blog, is about SBA loan, debt forgiveness and loan workouts. My third book (also in the works) is called: Now What? Explaining What the Business Owner Must Do to Survive and Emerge Successful and Profitable. Both will be out later this year. (Available soon in ebook and hard copy versions.)
I believe these books will become field guides for small business owners trapped in a downturn economy and looking for answers as to how a business owner can manage survival and emergence, and ultimately return to profitability.
My vision is to help save America, one business at a time. My goal is to help small business owners survive, protecting the jobs and commerce that their families---and the families of at-risk employees---depend upon.
