The ONLY 3 Reason Businesses Fail Ever wondered why so many businesses collapse, even when they seem to be doing everything right? Join us on A New Direction as we dive deep into Larry Mandelberg’s eye-opening book, Businesses Don’t Fail, They Commit Suicide. Larry Mandelberg has taken his years of experience, and his own coaching case studies to ask the burdening question... Why do businesses fail? So often we want to blame failure on financial reasons, but are finances the problem or merely the symptom? Who is in control of the finances? Who hired them? As Larry Mandelberg points out so often we blame the fail on the symptoms of the company, and we never get to the real problem. No doubt we will work through the uncomfortable truths most entrepreneurs and business owners ignore. From poor decision-making and resistance to change to leadership blind spots, we’ll explore the real reasons businesses fail—not because of market forces, but because of leadership sabotage. Larry Mandelberg's book, "Businesses Don't Fail They Commit Suicide: How to Survive Success in Good Times and Bad" is not just another business book.  In fact, it is the results of Larry Mandelberg's research with over 100 companies and 250 Business Executives. The title is luring, for sure.  However, when you consider that every business failure is not a result of money, but a result of poor leadership, we come to realize, we don't kill the business, it's our behavior or lack thereof why the business commits suicide. This book not only helps you understand the "only 3 reasons business fails", but then it moves you to understanding how maturity will affect what you do in your business and how in ever step of business maturity (from "youth" to "adulthood") where you can fail. Coupled with that he identifies the 3P's of success that are critical to business majority and where these fail, so do our business. Finally, Larry takes us through the 8 index identifiers that can trip us up and keep us from being successful, maintaining success or committing suicide. Fantastic book, deep, insightful, tons of knowledge and will change your perspective.  It begs us all to ask the questions are we treating the symptoms or are we truly diagnosing the problem?
