Do you have backup tools?
Backing up is vital to make sure you don’t lose any data but have you thought about a backup of the tools you use in your business?
I was caught out yesterday with being locked out of my Zoom account, so I wasn’t able to do any Remote Work with it.
However, I do have a backup service I can use, so it’s always good to think about having a backup of your Tool Stack too.

I often talk about having a data backed
up in more than one place so in case
anything happens you actually have a
backup for your data and you're not
losing out and losing all your work and
stuff but we don't actually talk about
having a backup of your tools the
actually of the actual applications or
the way you work
now obviously yesterday I made an
episode about my zoom not working but
today I've had several calls that I've
had to use zoom obviously because it
wasn't working I had to look into my
tool box as it were to find another tool
to be able to carry on working so do you
have the same thing that sorry it
doesn't matter what part of it what tool
it is but you know the things that you
need to use like videoconferencing your
phone for instance if your phone breaks
do you actually have a second one so you
can carry on working some people
actually have second computers like
their old computer so they can carry on
working secondary email address it's not
often that people talk about this but I
have secondary tools I do have another
computer I do have another phone I do
have another email address I do have
another remote software another video
conferencing so I have all of these
other tools because of the situation I'm
in I need to be able to connect with my
clients and help them as much as I can
if one of the tools isn't working so go
through your workflow figure out or your
tall stack I should say figure out which
tool you can double up on because I you
shouldn't double up on your tools I
talked about this quite a lot but
there's a difference between having a
backup tool then a doubling up tool that
makes any kind of sense so go through
your tool stack and see if you can or if
you have a backup of something of you
know whatever it is this should come out
better but you know what I'm talking
yeah go through till second check it out
