It was early 2002 after I'd relocated following a serious downturn
My business was going along smoothly and I'd experienced years of milk and honey.
Fortunately, I had saved some money over the good years but when things go bad it seems as no amount of money...or goodwill...will get you through.
Everyone, including my best clients, just tightened their belts and I was left hanging in the breeze having to steer my business like a skipper of a solo yacht across the Southern Ocean.
Despite the lone voices of support and encouragement from other battle scarred entrepreneurs I was seriously struggling...
...even though I'd successfully been in business for over 10 years, was respected as a leader in my industry, had guaranteed income from long-term contracts and had a regular stream of loyal clients.
The problem was I also had several employees, a mortgage and a young family to support...
and up until now, although I was good at what I did and my business was successful...
I had hit a brick wall.
It felt like everything was against me.
I couldn't squeeze out an extra dollar if I tried.
My days of taking time off to travel and vacation with my family ceased.
My credit cards started to take a hammering.
Needless to say the stress caused untold damage at home taking a huge toll on my relationships and health.
What changed?
At the time I asked my accountant what I could do and they told me about someone they were working with who had revolutionized their practice.
Fortunately...they introduced me to a talented entrepreneur and business manager called Darren.
I won't mention his last name because he has now gone onto float several companies and would not appreciate me trying to hang off his coat-tails.
At the time I paid an unfathomable fee to get Darren to work with me for about three months.
He only visited me personally for about 4 hours each week and mentored me during that time.
He set me tasks and helped me establish systems to manage better.
What I learned transformed my business.
Over the following months after I implemented what I had learned I started to return to adequate profits despite extremely harsh business conditions.
Some 15 years or so later, having used the systems and tools I was shown, I totally redeveloped the system and added my own unique twists to maximise results.
The culmination of these efforts is tenXcel.
Now I understand what I'd learned and the tools I've developed need to be shared to help others who may be struggling like I once was.
Once....I doubted myself.
Despite being a successful business owner.
Even though I was a multiple World Record Holder.
I still struggled with achieving success in business.
I nearly REJECTED the offer from Darren to help me.
I was sure I could go it alone.
He was younger, from a different cultural background...and excruciatingly EXPENSIVE.
If I didn't embrace the knowledge he shared with me I wouldn't be here today.
There are several other mentors I had previously and since and I'd be so happy to share what absolute moments of enlightenment they have brought me over the years.
I'm so excited to share the tenXcel system with you.
Please read the responses from people who have used the tenXcel system so far.
I hope you will join their chorus of praise.
To your every success,
David Schummy
