There will Always Be Something 

I want to thank my readership for reading my blogs. I also want to apologize for not getting very many blogs up in the last couple of weeks. It turns out my computer system was hacked and left with an unbelievably bad virus. 

It took me time to realize how bad the problem was. And more time to find the correct computer repair shop that could fix it. I was lucky enough to find tech for less who had a shop in my town and was able to fix it within 48 hours (about 2 days). 

The one good thing that came out of this is it pointed out the fact that I had a single-point failure within my business. If my computer went down, and it did. My business was at a complete standstill. 

 Even swift action when you first recognize something Does not help much if you do not have a Plan B to immediately put into place. The good news is that I was able to immediately find a sale for a reworked computer that can pick up and take over in case this ever happens again. The sad news is that it took me about two weeks of trying to get the new computer up to snuff with all my applications. Yet at least the computer is set up for work now and in the future. 

I was right in the middle of setting up my site, training Academy, and online business. I wanted it to open the first week in June. Now, I am pushing to try to have it up and running the first week in July. That is OK, it is just another delay. 

I will keep you informed on how things go, and let you know When the site is running.  

Thanks for being with me today.
