I write to America’s entrepreneurs, small business owners, retirees and those planning on retiring soon. America’s small businesses are the nation’s job-creation engine, but 25% of businesses hit by a disaster don’t open again. That means many of America’s small businesses simply aren’t prepared for a disaster. Is yours?
The Small Business Administration has developed resources for small business owners including checklists and safety tips for a variety of dangers. You can find these resources here:

Cyber Security

No matter where you live, it’s likely that your business is online, and that you use the internet. Be sure to examine the SBA’s Cyber Security plan. As I’ve written recently, Americans are vulnerable to cyber attacks, and preparing for them should be a priority for anyone.

E.J. has trained at Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, NH, where he completed course-work in Practical and Defensive Handgun, Conceal Carry Pistol, Shotguns, Precision Scope Rifle and Kidnapping Prevention.
E.J. plays a Yamaha Recording Custom drum set with Zilldjian cymbals. His first drum set was a 5-piece Slingerland with Zilldjians. He grew-up worshiping Neil Peart (RIP) of the band Rush, and loves the song Tom Sawyer—the name of his family’s boat, a Grady-White Canyon 306. He grew up in Mattapoisett, MA, an idyllic small town on the water near Cape Cod. He spends time in Newport, RI and Bartlett, NH—both as far away from Wall Street as one could mentally get. The Newport office is on a quiet, tree lined street not far from the harbor and the log cabin in Bartlett, NH, the “Live Free or Die” state, sits on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. He enjoys spending time in Key West and Paris.
