From Blog To Book – Maybe A Movie Next!
It has been quite a journey. I started writing my blog in March of 2007. Over 1000 posts on debt workout and successfully navigating the downturn, two very important and timely subjects given the state of the economy and the crushing effect it has had on small businesses all over the country.
When I started my blog, I was quickly inundated with many calls asking for more information on these two subjects. Most people wanted specific information on debt workout for secured loans and SBA guaranteed loans. Apparently, few have the experience and expertise and know how to do this successfully. I was repeatedly told that “Other than bankruptcy, we had no options until we discovered Second Wind.”
It became clear that there were no reliable sources of information and with so few having the experience or expertise to guide the growing number of defaulting small business owners with secured and SBA guaranteed loans to safety without catastrophic losses, the lines for bankruptcy were growing. Total disaster was being brought on the borrowers who were losing their businesses and homes at an alarming rate. I continued to write, offering guidance on these subjects and taking calls from anyone in the country who needed help and, of course, being hired by many to represent their workout needs. The rest is history.
We are currently providing hundreds of borrowers with the workout strategies they require to successfully navigate this downturn and have saved many, many businesses, their owners, and their employees from imminent disaster in the form of foreclosure and liquidation due to defaulting loans.
Approximately 200 of the posts from the blog have been turned into a book entitled Let’s Talk Business: Successfully Navigating the Downturn. Entrepreneur Press, which publishes the magazine Entrepreneur and the website/blog Entrepreneur.com, has agreed to publish the book which is due out early next year. The e-book version will be available later in December on this website.
There are options and there is a path to success. You can successfully navigate the downturn and work out defaulted debt. Read the blog, read the book and call us. Don’t wait for the movie. There is help available.
