More than half of all businesses in the U.S.
don’t make it to their fifth birthday, and nearly 70 percent are gone by
year ten. How do businesses get into trouble? A hundred different ways.
Poor cash flow, undercapitalization, lax financial controls, poor
worker productivity, boneheaded mistakes, inefficient processes, failure
to adapt, loss of enthusiasm . . . the list goes on and on.
The fact is, many businesses that face life-threatening challenges, or
are just stuck in the doldrums, can turn their fortunes around. And
Jonathan Lack is the expert who can show you how. Lack is a turnaround
specialist—the guy called in to reinvigorate a stalled company or revamp
the poor practices that reduce sales and decimate profits. Once he’s
done, the company is again on the road to growth and profitability.
