It the book of Proverbs is says"the wise see trouble and take refuge, but the fool proceeds and are punished". In my office I get to see it all. So many times the solution was easy a few weeks or a few years ago and there was little or not cost other than the change in habits or direction.
In Larry Burkett's book Business by the Book, he states that 60% of all businesses become unprofitable once their interest rate reaches 15%. Debt is surely a slippery slope that some business owners manage but there are other key areas that we also need to make sure we have a plan to address. We see so many people who are so busy working in their business they never get to work on their business.
