I'm running my own business, and I'm up a tree. One of the competitors kinda hit below the belt and I'm left reeling with that. I'm known as a hotshot, young and talented, I was on tv shows several times. I mean, I'm really good at deploying resources but still need to learn a lot of things. I know it. The lure of fame is toxic. Now I admit I was a little cocky, and my company is on the rocks! I lured some intestors to put some money on this. They have no idea this is actually decaying. When I have to attend a conference, I just make a beeline for washroom. At any rate, I don't want to lose face. I should find a way to salvage dying business. I shouldn't be a bystander of my own problem.
