--Gary Sutton, The Six-Month Fix

Mind you, this book is not for the faint of heart--Sutton is frank in outlining the gut-wrenching process of a turnaround, deliberately meant to frighten you into action and help your business avoid bankruptcy. This involves embracing change, defining realistic goals, and becoming smarter about risks you'll need to take once your business is back on its feet. Depending on your situation, Sutton directs you to the sections in the book you need to focus on right away, be it stopping the bleeding and stabilizing your cash, or shifting into the next gear to enhance profits and lift your company to new heights.
