One moment, your business is thriving. The next, everything changes. A sudden life event pulls you away, your biggest client leaves, or your top-performing employee is poached by a competitor. These scenarios aren’t just hypotheticals—they happen every day, and they can shake even the most established businesses to their core.
But what happens when the crisis isn’t just about business?
Last week, a client of mine walked into a meeting looking unwell. Encourage to seek medical assistance, days later, they received a devastating diagnosis—terminal cancer. In another case, a business owner casually mentioned experiencing chest pains. I urged him to visit a medical centre immediately. Upon arrival, he was upgraded to an ambulance, and within moments, he was in full cardiac arrest.
In both these situations, The Engine Limited was there—not just as advisors but as trusted partners who could step in on an interim part-time basis to ensure operations continued. While these business owners and their families focused on their health and personal matters, we provided business continuity, leadership, and stability during their time of need.
Now Imagine This…
Your best-performing salesperson—the one responsible for nearly 40% of your revenue—is suddenly poached by a competitor. You’re left scrambling to replace them, retrain someone new, and rebuild lost momentum. Revenue drops, and pressure mounts.
Or worse—your biggest client, who accounts for 50% of your business, decides to leave. Whether it’s due to industry shifts, a change in leadership, or them simply outgrowing your services, their departure leaves a gaping hole in your cash flow. Suddenly, your once-stable business is in survival mode, and you’re forced into reactive decision-making.
These aren’t rare occurrences—they happen every day to businesses just like yours. And many business owners only seek help when they’re already in crisis, scrambling for solutions.
