Three Ways Technology Has Actually Taken Your Small Business Hostage!

Ladies & gentlemen, is there anything sadder than, a sincere entrepreneur that has dove in head first and truly embraces the technological side of their business.

Only to literally find themselves drowning in it, (and because of it), simply because they (nor) the person(s) the fast talking IT consultant(s) (supposedly) trained, honestly have little or  no clue what they’re doing either!

If to this point in, (either) your very own personal journey and or your employment  journey, your small business or where you currently work, has yet to experience  this!

Congratulations! But entrepreneur, be forewarned, because just as the sun rises and  then sets each and every day, it’s surely just a matter of time!

Because no one can deny that successfully running (and) effectively managing the hectic day to day operations of your dream small business definitely involves more than it’s fair share of technological issues, right?

But word to the wise, unless you or somebody is really up to stuff, with regards to the various technological aspects of your business!

 Entrepreneur, you’re (more than likely) going to whined up being held or taken hostage by it! In fact, see if the following three, all too real and all too  common situations sound familiar!

So What Are The Three Most Common Ways Your Small Business Is Being Held Hostage By Technology?

Face it already entrepreneur, you and I, (especially me) did not pursue starting and trying to strategically grow our dream small business, because we had an affinity for talking about things like logistics, key codes, data breaches,networks, spyware, data backups, ransomware or virus’s etc.Agreed?

All subject’s I’m sure you can’t wait to impress friends & family with your intricate knowledge about, correct? Unless of course, it’s how you primarily keep a roof over your head!

But as you start digging deeper into the ever expanding technology maze, it get’s downright scary! You know why? Because at some point, it really starts to dawn on, (both) you and your in house employee(s) in charge of this particular aspect of your business.

If anything major were to occur, you basically have little or no understanding of what to do about it and or “how to” correct it, without your friendly neighborhood IT professionals help!Ouch!

So let’s briefly take a look at three incredibly simple ways, that today’s modern technology, has the potential of holding your dream small business hostage!

Does Your Lack Of Understanding Modern Technology Stand In The way Of Your Business Or Service Moving Ahead!

1.) The first way: Like it or not, but not consistently updating your antiquated technology, is definitely holding your business and your long term potential profits hostage.How you ask?

Entrepreneur, if it still hasn’t occurred to you how much potential money your non mobile friendly WordPress website and or blog is costing you!Then it’s obvious, you have completely missed the boat here!

Because at least 30% or more of your daily traffic is coming from some type of hand held device. And if those visitors have to be bothered scrolling left and right, just to view your entire screen!

They’re headed to your competitors mobile friendly site asap!So you’ve lost them, (not only) as a potential long term repeat customer/client, but they won’t be referring your business, products and or services, (for years and years to come!)

Nor will they be positively lighting up the social media platforms singing your businesses praises as well!(You can do math on that!)

Try Not To Make Your Small Business Too Dependent On Any One Customer And Or Technology In General!

 2.) The second way: Ladies & gentlemen, when you or someone inside the IT department, makes a major mistake and some sort of preventable virus negatively infects your entire computer network.

Guess what? You don’t just pay a ton to have outside IT help come in and hopefully have the problem(s) resolved within a few hours and or a day or two at the most.

You’re still on the hook for all of your employees salaries and or hourly wages, during this lull, are you not?Plus, if you’re not able to process any business online as this ongoing issue is being resolved.Wanna try and calculate what that may or may not be worth!

And once the crisis is finally resolved, your employee/associates have to play catch up, to try and just get back to where they were, before the incident occurred!Care to try and put a dollar sign on that entire situation?

3.) The third way: If the current in house people in charge of your IT department, suddenly decide to head off into the sunset, or worse yet, head over to one of you major competitors.

Are You Sick And Tired Of Being Held Hostage By Modern Technology?

Or if they finally decide to bite the bullet and head out on their own.Can you access any of the necessary files that you will most definitely need to?

If not, once again ladies & gentlemen, modern technology has temporarily taken your dream small business hostage! And the real question is, what are you going to do about it?Not a very pleasant thought, now is it?Any questions?
