I had reached the breaking point with: 1) a retail business that was clearly failing, 2) a consulting practice that was performing well on the work obtained but not obtaining enough work to sustain it, and 3) a W-2 employment search that was unsuccessful (my focus was almost exclusively on the retail store). David convinced me to look at my businesses in a different way. As a result, I was able to understand what was really going on in my retail business from several perspectives, including financial, customer service, sales, and marketing. He helped pull me away from the day-to-day concerns long enough to see things I hadn’t seen. I ultimately decided that closing my retail business completely was in the best long-term interest of my life goals. This freed up time and energy to allow me to focus on my other two priorities, making June/July 2011 the most successful period I’ve had in the last 5 years.
