Fix it when it breaks.

“Repairing things as soon as possible just makes more sense. Get it done!” Allowing the repair and maintenance projects at your business to build up and progressively become worse will only create larger problems. Repairing or replacing things when they first break can reduce downtime, and that reduction in downtime could potentially increase revenue and result in greater profits. Waiting until you are forced to repair and replace things sometimes actually costs more. A great example would be waiting to replace your HVAC in a cooler month instead of a warmer month. HVAC vendors will understand you are hot and really need that A/C system to work. If I were betting, I would put my money on the vendor charging a little bit more because the weather is nice and toasty outside. Repairing things as soon as possible just makes more sense.

Business continuity and preparedness

  “If you are not ready to fail, then you are not ready to succeed.” What do you do when your equipment breaks, and you do not have another one that can replace the broken one? You panic. You jump on the internet and try to find the Jack-of-all-trades who might have another or who may be able to repair your broken equipment. The underlying problem is you technically do not have a back-up plan to keep your business running and making money. If something breaks and you do not have a quick solution to repair it, then you’re likely going to be faced with a problem that will cost you money and potentially lead to making no money. For your business to continue even when things break, you need to have extra parts and equipment and/or partnerships with people who can quickly repair your things. Being prepared means being ready to fail. If you are not ready to fail, then you are not ready to succeed. "The story continues..." by SomeDriftwood is licensed under CC BY-NC 2.0
