Some major online services are having struggles this morning due to an apparent Cloudflare outage. Like ChatGPT, X/Grok/Twitter, and even this newsletter software (#partnerlink) seemed to struggle earlier.
Reminded me of the importance of having redundancy, backups, and a plan B.
Do you have that in your business?
If there was a major outage with your CRM, do you still have the contact info downloaded and saved on a computer?
If your computer got stolen, burnt, or bricked… do you have a printed copy somewhere?
If you lost the contact info of all your past clients, open estimates, and current projects… what would you do?
What if a disgruntled employee or partner took over all the logins, like what happened to another roofer several days ago?
A few things to ponder and take action on before the new year.
Also, take action on getting to Leadership Essentials.
It could be the one thing that unlocks the next level for you.
