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 do you need to have ready?
How can we make this easier if something unexpected happens?
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 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 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.
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.
