It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day, which means it’s time to ask: What makes you lucky?
Do you have a lucky charm? A rabbit’s foot? A four-leaf clover pressed in an old book? Maybe you cross your fingers and hope for the best.
People say luck is when preparation meets opportunity. But I see it differently.
Luck isn’t about winning the lottery. It’s about avoiding disaster.
You don’t feel lucky when you drive to work and don’t crash, but you would feel unlucky if your car broke down on the way. You don’t wake up thinking, Wow, I’m lucky my house didn’t burn down last night! But you would feel unlucky if it did.
Which brings me to your business.
Luck Runs Out—Are You Ready for That Moment?
Right now, your business is running smoothly. Emails are flowing. Payments are processing. Your employees are clicking away at their keyboards, and your clients are getting what they need.
But what happens when:
- A ransomware attack locks up every file on your system?
- A power outage wipes out your ability to operate?
- A flood takes out your server room?
- Your most trusted employee walks out the door—with access to everything?
Luck is not a strategy. Hope is not a plan.
If your business is only “secure” because you haven’t been hit yet, you’re not lucky—you’re just next in line.
Do You Actually Have a Plan—Or Just Wishful Thinking?
If disaster struck tomorrow, what would happen?
Would your employees know what to do?
Would you have backups ready to go?
Would you still be able to operate?
Would you still have a business?
You don’t wait until your house is on fire to buy insurance. You don’t wait until your brakes fail to check them. And you sure as hell don’t wait until a disaster to start planning for one.
So, let me ask you: Are you actually prepared?
Not just for cyberattacks—but for blackouts, floods, fires, tornados, or the occasional rogue employee who decides they’re taking your client list on their way out?
Stay Lucky—Test Your Plan Before You Need It
Luck favors the prepared.
If you don’t have a real disaster recovery plan—or you haven’t tested it—you’re not prepared. You’re just hoping.
Let’s fix that.
Because the best way to stay lucky? Make sure you don’t need luck in the first place.
