Pursuing a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) Degree is a journey that provides an opportunity for bothpersonal and professional growth. The writing of this paper is occurring during a time when the United States isin an economic crisis. Research studies (Curtis, 2014; Williams, 2014Schildkraut, 2014, , Zack, 2015, Adelino,2014) regarding foreclosures; other research studies (Jurinski, 2016; Ryan, 2014) concerning the decline in smallbusiness startups, and scholarly dialogue (Atkinson, 2012; crossley, 2014; Jin, 2014; Jolly, 2015; McGuinness,2014) regarding job loss and its effects on various aspects of life are affecting the economy.
