You’re exhausted.
But it’s all worth it, right? Being your own boss has it’s advantages, sure.
How do you fix your company when disaster strikes?
It’s simple: by carefully planning for disaster.
In 2016, 54% of companies report they have experienced downtime from a single event, lasting more than 8 hours. Downtime is a period of time during which a machine, especially a computer, is out of action or unavailable for use. In today’s world, downtime can be more directly related to the amount of time your network is down.
Imagine running your business for 8 consecutive hours without the internet, phone systems, and transaction processing. You’d probably be sending people home and begin calculating how much money you’re going to lose because of something that you just couldn’t plan for.
But here’s the thing. You CAN plan for events that cause downtime. Enterprises all over the world create what’s called a Disaster Recovery Plan for just such an event.
Whether it’s an honest-to-goodness disaster like an earthquake or hurricane, or it’s a simple, but prolonged power outage, you can plan for it. You can even plan for a data breach, hardware failure, ransomware attack, or DDoS Attack.
