It can put you all the way out of business. And that is you need to have your data backed up by a professional.&nbsp; If you&#8217;re a smaller business with less than 30 or 40 employees, you probably need, if you don&#8217;t already have what&#8217;s called a managed service provider or an MSP and you need to hire that MSP in a way where you know exactly how they&#8217;re going to back your data up and it needs to be off Network. It needs to be in a different geography ideally. So if there is some sort of a natural disaster or a hurricane in Jamaica you know that your data is safe in a data centre in Minnesota or something and your backups need to be encrypted and it needs to be audited once every quarter once maybe twice a year. You need to pay your MSP to download those backups and test them to make sure that they&#8217;re current that they have all of your critical data.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">List<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">en to the episode and let us know what is your biggest takeaway.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Connect with Host and Creator, Heneka Watkis-Porter<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Email<\/b><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/heneka_watkis_porter\/\"><b>Instagram<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/henekawatkisporter\/\"><b>LinkedIn<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>YouTube<\/b><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheEntrepYou\"><b>Twitter<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/heneka.watkis\"><b>Facebook<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/henekawatkisporter.com\/\"><b>Website<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>WhatsApp &#8211; 1876-849-2571<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Support The Entrepreneurial You here fo US$5.00 monthly:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/glow.fm\/tey.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/glow.fm\/tey.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Connect with Brian Gill:<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gillware.com\/data-recovery-company\/msp-hiring-guide-30-questions-you-must-ask-before-hiring-a-managed-service-provider\/\"><b>Free MSP hiring guide, not gated to figure out how to hire someone to upgrade IT security.&nbsp;<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/brian-gill-68997a38\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Visit our Sponsor:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/jamstockex.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jamaica Stock Exchange<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>SHOP The Entrepreneurial Store:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/henekawatkisporter.com\/store\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/henekawatkisporter.com\/store\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>BOOKS by Heneka Watkis-Porter: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/henekawatkisporter.com\/books\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/henekawatkisporter.com\/books\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>LEARN Podcasting: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/henekawatkisporter.com\/learn\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/henekawatkisporter.com\/learn\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Book Heneka Watkis-Porter to SPEAK: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/henekawatkisporter.com\/speaking\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/henekawatkisporter.com\/speaking\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>LISTEN to other podcast episodes: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/henekawatkisporter.com\/teypodcast\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/henekawatkisporter.com\/teypodcast\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>READ our blog: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/henekawatkisporter.com\/blog\/<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Looking for spiritual upliftment?
