“As a venture capitalist, I've worked with hundreds of CEOs and know it's the toughest job in the world. Sam Khoury is by far the best turnaround executive I've ever worked with. You can take his promises to the bank — I have on several occasions. This book is a must read for all CEOs. Following Sam's advice is guaranteed to keep your company out of trouble and keep you in control.

“No one is more accountable than the CEO. The job is complex, ever changing, challenging, and deeply rewarding if it's done right. Whether you're a CEO now or it's your ambition to be one, this is the book for you — wise, real, clear, and focused. Sam Khoury does a masterful job.

— George H. Schofield, Ph.D., author of After 50 It's Up To Us

Sam Khoury convinced me that it wasn't the end of the world when my decisions didn't produce the results I wanted. What it meant was that I had to learn from my mistakes, make more decisions, and make sure that we executed them properly. Sam's insight was a true lifesaver for the leadership and direction of our organization. I simplified our plan, didn't let my ego get in the way, focused on cash flow, and relearned a very basic fundamental — I trusted my instinct. Now, due in large part to Sam's mentoring, we're a very profitable $50M+ enterprise, and I have better balance in my life!
