Happy St. Patrick’s Day to everyone lucky enough to be Irish and everyone, like me, who is “Irish today.” St Patrick’s Day always reminds me of the Lucky Charms leprechaun – It suggests 4 leaf clovers — and Luck! I truly do wish everyone the “luck of the Irish” today and always; however, as one of my favorite quotes suggests, often times what looks like “good luck” is really just good planning, and doing what needs to be done to avoid or overcome “bad luck.”
Here is a quote about luck – For me, it sums up life, business and every goal we ever set.
Its from Roald Amundson , a Norwegian explorer that led the first Antarctic expedition to reach the South Pole.
Victory awaits him who has everything in order — luck, people call it. Defeat is certain for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time; this is called bad luck.
Roald Amundsen, The South Pole (1912).
So, how lucky do you feel? Are you prepared? Is your business prepared? Sometimes clients defer employing a recommended best practice or a new backup solution, relying on “good luck” to see them through. Unfortunately, “bad luck” often shows up unannounced in situations like that — and often at the most inconvenient time.
As your technology team, we want to help you make sure things are in order, that best practices are followed, antivirus in place, backups, machines under warranty, firewalls and more.
Our “luckiest” clients are also our most prepared ones.
May the blessings you receive today be the blessings you need!
