Though Jaguar had made all the right choices in his business there was one thing he couldn’t control – the recession. While businesses around him were falling left and right, Jaguar was trying to both keep his business profitable and afloat during the rough times.

The only way to make it through this was to have a good strategy and Jaguar was doing exactly that.
