Winter Driving and Business Slip-Ups

I saw a taxi struggling to climb a snowy hill this morning. One of the rear tires was bald. They did make it to the top of the hill, but it was a lot harder to do without proper tires. A bit of preventative maintenance would have made the trip a lot easier.

Ever take a moment to look at your business to see what "preventative maintenance" would make your business run easier? Sure, when things are sunny, things work smoothly. But the real test of your business comes when conditions are poor. Can your business weather economic storms, or are you going to slide back down the hill?

Preparing for the bad times when times are good is an often overlooked business practice. Whether it's having cash reserves on hand, having good anti-virus software or even checking something as simple as reviewing the image your telephone message presents, a little preventative maintenance goes a long way.
