Accreditation crisis

      Dave' s business acumen was sorely questioned when the first round of accreditation for his music school failed. His partners accused him of not accumulating a qualified staff, his accountant acquiesced that his bookkeeping was not orderly, and his wife said he wasn't as acquainted with the process as he should have been. Regardless of the accuracy of the complaints, Dave felt an acute pain; it was as if he was drinking acid. How could his friends all abandon him so quickly when troubles came? Dave knew that if he ever wanted to achieve anything else in his life after this, he would first have to overcome this emotional acupuncture, acknowledge his mistakes and move on.

      His first step Ms to adapt to the situation and keep his acquisitive partners from selling whet he had started to the highest bidder. TO do this he quickly acquired the report on what had been successfully accredited and what had failed. He was surprised to find that his school had only failed on one point, the acoustics of their main music hall. That meant that everything else was fine, that it was a success except for that one thing!

      At the meeting the next day with all parties involved, Dave presented the report and his plan for hew they could improve the acoustics of the hall and then activate e a second round of accreditation meetings. Everyone was happy except for the partners. They had already viewed the school as a failed acquisition and it was hard for them to adjust their thinking. Dave was quick, however, and encouraged them that this was still a successful item in their accumulation of a diversified portfolio. They agreed and the school was licensed three months later.
