In 1998, the Los Angeles Times courted me to perform business makeovers; this grew to include manufacturers and retailers around the world. I've increased sales for independent retailers, hoteliers, restaurants, and franchises by challenging them to look in the mirror to learn how to compete.

Many retailers have had it easy the past 7 years since we woke up from 9/11 and found that the economy could go on. That along with attractive home equity mortgages let retailers become soft and happy for whatever walked in their door. Demand hasn’t gone away, it is just postponed. Your attitude will determine how well you will do until then.
