There is a certain amount of worry that making a decision comes with and as I get older I get less courageous in my decisions and actions - not that I was particularly courageous when I was younger I guess.
I have to make a decision about the business. I know exactly what that decision is and yet there's a niggle at the back of my mind about it but there shouldn't be at all. It is in fact the logical, rational and proper decision to make, to close the business. It's not the pride of that either, there's no pride in losing money or trying to defy the forces of financial inevitability. I just know that someone is going to kick off about it. I suppose he can do that but in reality neither he nor I can stop the certainty that if the business carries on it will go insolvent and no one wants that.
So my fiduciary duty of care is to shut it down and to do that now (well on Monday). It's done then and that's a fact. I suppose people can argue about it but the facts from the data show that it will never make money and so that in itself could be tabled but why the hell should it be? There's been no input from these people only the hurling of brickbats - I don't think they can really do anything as it stands.
At least this period of the journey will come to and end and then I can just tidy up the outstanding items and move on.
