Coffee in hand, you stagger into your office and sit down to read your morning emails and sort through them like you always do.  Pushing on the button that lights up the CPU on your system and it’s blank. No light, no fan, no nothing. You start to panic and go through the obvious problems.  You look at the clock and hope that its not moving cause that means your electricity is off. Darn, that’s not it.  You crawl under the desk with the dust bunnies and hope that just maybe you accidently discconnected the power source from the power strip. Nope…

After running down a full list of potential problems, you realise that now, it’s a lost cause and your repair guy is going to get your panicked call and he won’t be available for hours if not days.

Sound familiar!?

It’s happened to a few of us and we are no exception.  In that hardware failure, you also start to wonder if all that work that you had on your hard drive is still good and all those files will still be there when you need them most.

The only way to reassure that you can rest at ease is to be sure to back up your files on an external hard drive.  External hard drive prices are coming down in price extensively and they can hold thousands of file with some drives hold up to 400-500 Gigabytes in memory.

Backup software such as GoodSync, can be set to auto back up your files on a schedule that keep you as up to date in your files as you want to be making it very automatic.  There are other softwares out there that are just as good, just do your research to see how versatile they are.

Remember, there is a big difference between backing up system files and doing data backups. Be sure you do both otherwise you might find yourself without some information that you needed. Data backups are the most important as that holds the information for your letters, pictures and so much more.

This previous weekend I had the pleasure of networking and meeting some amazing business owners from all over the world.  Each of them unique in their own demographic and some who are reaching out in these economic times to help those continue to plan for the future and for their families so that they are provided for as they continue to plan for whatever hardship may or may not come into their path of success.

Kennedy Financial Services is run by a small intimate family who put a great deal of pride, love and dedication into their business, their services and their clientèle.  Located in Eastland, Texas, they provide their services to not just their neighbors, but to people all over the United States and are very successful in their course of action.

Using the term “Life Planning” they are not necessarily a financial services brokerage.  As many have found during this economic hardship, our monies in the hands of another can be scary and the guarantee’s are limited.  The Kennedy family and the staff their show a great passion and love for what they do and provide.  After spending a weekend with them and speaking and listening to them on not just a personal note, but on a professional level, I would recommend them to anyone.

Please visit their website (www.kennedy-financial.com) to learn more about the services and the people that run this amazing service.
