Your Practice Rating: UNDERPERFORMING

Your independent consulting practice earned a Profitability Assessment Rating of Underperforming. Unless you are independently wealthy and your practice is your hobby, this is likely not news to you because every hour of every day you feel the professional, financial, and family strains of an underperforming practice.
