In this episode, Byron discusses:
- One of the first steps of a turnaround plan, even if it's difficult
- Document and journal everything you are doing and thinking
- Making quick decisions
- Cutting deeper than you want
Key Takeaways:
- Talk with others about your plan, brainstorm ideas and connect the dots
- Calculate your runway, then take steps to increase it (cut expenses fast)
- You will have a new company when it's all done; it will be better. Don’t wait for the market to come back, get to profitability right away. Don’t hold on to the old company.
- Don’t wait for the market to come back, take action now. Cut expenses to match new revenue levels and get to breakeven asap. Then grow as the market recovers.
- Nothing will be the same going forward. The market will be different. Your company will be different. Embrace the new reality and make the tough decisions required during a turnaround.
"Once you come up with a decision, you need to take action right away. Making the wrong decision is a better scenario than not making a decision." — Byron Walker
