On the Attack!
At an Inc. magazine forum last week, I found myself on the attack. The target? Me. I was engaging in a moderated dialogue with Seth Godin—not only do I have the utmost respect for him, but we are in agreement a frightening percentage of the time. It seems at times that we use the same adjectives and adverbs to make the same points. Hence, the surprise at some areas of disagreement.
Disaster Continuity Planning
According to a report by SCORE on the impact of disasters on U.S. small businesses, natural and manmade disasters have increased by 40% over the last 15 years. The likelihood that you'll experience one is too high to ignore. About 25% of businesses do not reopen following a major disaster. You need to plan ahead to make sure you can weather the storm (pun intended) and continue to be profitable.

Do You Know Where Your Disaster Recovery Plan Is
Disasters of major magnitude are major news again after the Gulf coast region of the United States was hit by 2 major hurricanes. So it is very timely for me to ask each of you: “Do you know where your disaster recovery plan is?” “Do you even have a disaster recovery plan or crisis management plan?” “What business contingency plans do you have?” I am very concerned that in too many cases the answers would be “No” “No” and “None!” The plain hard truth is that if your business is going to continue to perform at a profitable or administratively adequate level when a crisis occurs, crisis/emergency planning is imperative. You must have a properly prepared disaster recovery plan in place and have the appropriate staff fully briefed on their responsibilities.

2.0 Work and the life cycle of poverty: Working Out of Poverty
Surviving on the poverty line requires considerable ingenuity, courage, self-discipline and endurance. No opportunity to earn some money or payment in kind can be missed. Children and elderly dependants as well as adult members of the family often have to work in some way or other for a bare subsistence income. Hunger is ever present. Sickness or an accident means disaster. Mending the roof, buying clothes, furniture, even exercise books and pencils for school are major investments.
Difference Makers Have Courage
When Jackie Robinson was brought to the major leagues by Brooklyn Dodgers owner Branch Rickey, he was the first African-American to play major league ball. At that point, Mr. Rickey carefully explained to him that he would have thousands of chances to lose his temper and get upset because of the overt racism that existed in the major leagues at that time. He warned him about the hate-mail and boos he would get because many of the white players and fans would be adamantly opposed to his presence in the major leagues.
Should You Panic If You Have No Books To Give Your Accountant?
This is a question that rears its head from time to time here in the office. My initial reaction is “Why not?”. Occasionally there is a reasonable reason for the lack of evidence of someone’s business activities. It may be that the business has grown really quickly and they haven’t been able to keep up. They may have only just started the business and don’t know the first thing about bookkeeping and are seeking help. Sometimes there has been a known disaster such as a major flood or a fire. However...
Addicted to Disaster
A person can become addicted to most anything. Besides drugs and alcohol, addictions can be toward different foods, television, people, work, spending, internet (especially email), fear, and one of the most addictive things for the majority of people--disaster! That's right. Most people are addicted to disaster, their own or other people's.
New Revenue for the New Economy: 2010
Do you ever get asked about storing documents electronically? What about providing disaster recovery / business continuity services for clients’ existing electronic information? What if you could offer these services without the expense or complexity of acquiring hardware, software or additional IT personnel? Electronic content management (ECM) is a logical extension of the records storage and disaster recovery services you already provide. As your business recovers from what many economists are calling the “Great Recession,” ECM can be the thrust you need to spark significant business growth in the years to come. ECM is a growing market opportunity, with significant earning potential, and it doesn’t have to be as hard as you might think to get started.
