“ If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. ”
From Jury Box To Command Center: My Business Continuity Mission
Happy Father's Day!
I know one thing to be true.
I wouldn't be where I am today if wasn't for
my father and other father figures in my life.
Dad always made sure I prepared, no matter the task.
Earlier this week I was in jury duty selection.
While waiting I couldn't help but think about the last time
I served on a jury.
Get this...
I just left corporate and my new business was taking off.
Our workload was increasing and we partnered with a larger client.
Then it happened…
One day we checked the mail, and there it was ― "Summons: Jury Duty".
I was devastated.
“How am I going to run my business and be tied up for days, weeks or a month!?”
I needed to snap out of it.
My Dad prepared me for this.
Prepared you for Jury duty?
No, I mean having a plan and systems in place.
When I started the construction business, I made sure our systems were cloud based.
Ultimately I was selected as a Juror but I maintained business operations while on my breaks.
Everything I needed was accessible via my smartphone.
As I sat through Jury selection this week, I had my laptop handy just in case.
One judge came out and said they would need allow of us.
I stayed busy while waiting for updates.
I even started writing this very newsletter. (wink)
By the time I finished my outline, another gentleman came out and announced that he had good news.
He said that the defendant had second thoughts about going to trial and decided to plead guilty.
Let me tell you, our room made the loudest silent cheer I’ve ever experienced.
All 200 of us ― exhaled in relief.
We were all dismissed.
