I have a friend, for privacy reasons I can’t disclose, who just went through a several month period of the business blowing up. This person took a risk and tried to expand and build more value for his customers and colleagues.
– customers were upset
– employees were upset and mutiny minded
– lost a TONNE of money
I feel bad cuz it sucks, but I also admire this person because they had the balls/ovaries to try.
It moved me, hearing this story cuz it hurts so much, on so many levels. I found this link from JamesA that talks about how to recovers from stuff like this.
