Why did I write this book？
After spending more than thirty years as a corporate executive and business owner， I decided it was time to share some of my successes and failures with other professionals in the hope of helping the next generation of business owners/entrepreneurs to not only survive but thrive professionally and personally。

The sad fact is far too many entrepreneurs and organizations fail。 Why？ Well， I believe it is because they are not adequately prepared to navigate the swamp of business ownership。 Most of us start a business because we are good at something， but that something is only one part of running a successful business。 We tend to overextend ourselves， try to juggle too many balls – and unfortunately most of the balls hit the ground。

What I found is that intelligence， a patent， good people on your team， working 24x7 is NOT the formula for success。 You can work like a dog and odds are your business will not survive， or maybe you do survive， but at the price of your personal and family life。 Many of us justify spending our life fighting and clawing to get “to the top of our mountain” for our family。 Then if you have the good fortune to reach the top of your mountain， you turn around and find the really important things and people in your life may not be there。

Who needs this book:
This book is a guide for anyone who is or aspires to be an entrepreneur or run any type of organization。 As you will discover many times throughout this guide， success isn’t about working harder or smarter。 It is not what you know that will determine your success or failure， it’s about what you don’t know。 And， what you know is not nearly as important as who you know。 Too many of us sink in life because we don’t know where to step for success。 We need to know where to step。 This guide will help prepare you for what you don’t know。 The secret to walking on water is to know where the rocks are。

What you will discover:
Often， we start a business because we are good at one thing。 Well， one thing is not going to be enough to sustain a profession。 Scaling an organization and thriving over the long term is something entirely different from knowing just one particular thing。 My guide， identifies and shares several of the pit falls that sink organizations。 We don’t even see many of these obstacles。 In my quest to identify them， I met with experts in every area of business and asked them to share their experiences on how to address these issues。 I have included ten steps proven to be successful in turning around floundering organizations， and moving them foreword in a positive financial direction。
These tried-and-true stories can prevent your professional life from destroying your personal life。
