JRI consulting helping business owners


When Your Bottom Line Doesn’t Reflect All Your Hard Work.


On a Regular Basis, You Find:

  • You don’t even know what your break-even is, let alone if you’re making money, and you worry if you can make payroll each week. (When you work 80 hours a week, you’d think you have more to show for it!)
  • Your suppliers and banker call periodically—you start to avoid their calls, wondering when the next shoe is going to drop.
  • You feel like you need to babysit your employees and wonder how you can get your people to understand the bigger picture.
  • You’re by yourself at the top of the mountain. Everyone thinks you should know what to do but you’re not sure which of the many routes you should take.
  • Your inbox has 200 emails in it—you’re so overwhelmed, you don’t know which to answer first — the ones from employees, customers, vendors or your banker.
  • Your sales are stagnant, and your sales force is all over the road; they’re doing a better job of selling you than the customer.
