We stagnated for the next 6 to 8 months. We weren’t doing any better, but we weren’t doing any worse either. Something kept worrying me as we had grown fairly fast until then. To go from a rapid growth-rate rate to suddenly standing still scared me. I began to wonder whether the company was actually in decline and started thinking that we should sell before it was too late. I began to think about looking for another job again, and wondered when I should start firing people.
