Here in Milwaukee, the self-proclaimed Small Business Capital of America, there is a lot of smoke and haze hanging in the air from the Canadian wildfires. Things are literally burning and it got me thinking about emergency preparedness and planning, and what that translates to for a business. We spend so much time talking about growing our businesses that we often forget about the WTF moments that can occur.
Today we're talking about the things you need to spend some time on before you regret it. Data corruption and backup, hacking, hardware fails, insurance, transportation, supply issues - these are just some of the things that can go wrong on any given day. Sure, it might seem unlikely but it's still possible and your business shouldn't stop because something stopped working.
Also on this episode:
- Growth / Getting Unstuck / Mindset - Even though our goal is to always be growing, we've probably all felt "stuck" at some point. As humans having a growth mindset is a natural state but for those times when we are struggling to find the motivation needed to grow, Michael Rampolla, Strategist and Coach with Spearity is here to help us out.
- Small Business News / Community - It may sound harsh, but no one really cares if your small business succeeds. Ouch! But really, for those not in the thick of trying to make their own small business dreams come true, they don't really understand what it's like. How could they? Which is why the Idea Collective exists and why I am working so hard to bring events to the community. I want to band people together! I want to help YOU!
