What If You Couldn't Get Back Into Your Business Tomorrow?

We've all watched storms and the damage they've left behind.

Homes damaged. Businesses damaged. Electricity out for days.

People having to leave their homes, clean up, help family and neighbors, and put normal life on hold.

And it got me thinking about something I don't think we talk about enough as business owners:

What happens to your business when life has to come first?

As a marketing and operations business coach, and someone who also provides business services, I'm always helping my clients think ahead.

  • Where is this information?

  • What happens if this system goes down?

  • Who do you need to contact?

  • What do you need to have ready?

  • How can we make this easier if something unexpected happens?

I understand, I've also been in that place myself.

The electricity is out for days. There's storm damage that needs to be dealt with. I needed to take time away from my business to clean up, help others, take care of what's right in front of me, and simply figure out what I need right now.

This is not only just for the unexpected storm. What about a health emergency?


This is when you realize how much of your business is tied to things you normally don't even think twice about.

  • Your computer.

  • Your internet.

  • Your files.

  • The people you need to call.

  • The accounts you need access to.

When everything is working normally, you know where everything is.

When you're dealing with a crisis, you don't want to spend your time trying to remember where you put the information you suddenly need.

That's why I created 'The Small Business Emergency Restart Kit'. It's not a giant disaster-preparedness manual.


It's a practical resource to help you get the important pieces of your business together before you need them. Easy to download and print.

Perfect for brick-and-mortars, online/home-based, and remote/mobile businesses.

What Would I Need If I Couldn't Operate The Way I Normally Do?

The goal isn't to expect something bad to happen. It's to make sure that if something does happen, you're not trying to rebuild your business from memory while you're already dealing with everything else.

Inside, I'll walk you through:

What to have ready so that if you suddenly have to work from somewhere else, lose access to your normal workspace, or need to step away from your business for a while, you have a place to start.

  • Your essential business information.

  • Operational and promotional records.

  • A printable business grab-and-go kit.

  • What you need to work from another location.

  • Client/customer and employee/team Communication.

  • A one page Emergency Business Sheet.

  • Restart for brick-and-mortar, online, and remote.

  • A simple 30-minute restart test.

  • 12 packed pages for you to print and have ready.

Take a little time now to put the important pieces together.

You'll be glad you did if you ever need them.
