The Turnaround

Gregory K. McDonough

Bankruptcy is often seen as the end of the road for a broken business: an admission of failure. But despite the stigma surrounding it, bankruptcy can actually allow a company to restart, renew, and improve—as long as it’s done right.

When Gregory K. McDonough faced his own professional “death spiral,” he took a deep dive into the bankruptcy process and realized that bankruptcy could help revive his business. Now, he draws on his knowledge as a Certified Insolvency and Restructuring Advisor and his personal experiences to create a practical guide to staying mentally and strategically strong while navigating bankruptcy. The Turnaround provides vital information and coaching on the key elements of the process, including the following:

  • What bankruptcy means
  • When to declare bankruptcy
  • How to make hard decisions
  • From whom to get help
  • When to dissolve
  • How to protect your personal life
  • What plans to put in place to rebuild

Going bankrupt does not mean giving in. With the right plan of action, commitment, and mind-set, it can be the first step in turning a bad situation into a positive outcome.
