“I truly think we could multiply this business five times over,” Synthia described. “If someone bought our company, now, with the right investment, things would take off.”

“In this economy?” I asked.

“Yes, in this economy. Some sectors are taking it on the chin, but we made a decision to stick in this part of the market,” she replied.

“If that is what you think, why don’t you do it?”

“Well, we don’t, I mean, there is risk, after all,” Synthia backed off.

“When I ask, why don’t you do it? it’s not a dare. I am really looking for the reasons. Let’s say there are six reasons why you don’t want to take the risk. I will bet a dollar, three of the reasons are real and three of the reasons are head trash. I am here to help you identify the head trash, so we can get down to the real reasons to go forward or hold back. When we get the head trash out of the way, we can begin to make progress on stuff that is real.” -TF
