I’m angry, frustrated, and a little embarrassed but determined to fight back. My journey starts here.

I am going to make an apology, right up front.

This is a bit of a self indulgent outpouring. However, I need to get this off my chest because if I don’t I may explode.

Any sympathies and suggestions along the way would be warmly appreciated.

So what has happened?

There comes a time when you reach a point of no return. You know the situation? Things have become so critical that to do nothing is NOT an option. Well, I have reached that point.

Unfortunately, due to all kinds of reasons, my self employed business is facing oblivion. It seems, my main customer has, for reasons known only to himself, become a liability, in so far as his business is apparently on a slippery slope to ultimate failure.

There is now a perfect storm of:

  • Only a trickle of new leads.
  • His poor performance which is resulting in unhappy customers.
  • Lack of communication with his customers.
  • Lack of communication with me.
