Today’s podcast if FULL of practical tips for backing up your life if the worst happens!

What if you get hit by a bus?

What if your phone stops working?

What if your laptopĀ falls out of the car and stops working right? (Don’t ask me how I know this happens.)

Do you have backup plan?

Today I posted over at For the FamilyĀ about how my youngest son got me to thinking about the whole “if I get hit by a bus” thing. It is a fact, that the question of a six year old can stop you in your tracks.

Earlier this month I podcasted about how my blog/website was hacked and what it taught me. Then I posted about how I got “hacked” when I ran my marathon.

I’veĀ run into more people this past week who have had their social media accounts hacked.

I see the theme in living color people.

Apparently being hacked, virtually or physically, is a real concern.

Bottom line people? Ā We all need to have a backup plan.

Today’s podcast is a bit of me “geeking out” and sharing some tips for how to backup YOUR LIFE.

Whether it’s yourĀ phone, your computer,Ā your personal information, or your end-of-life action plan, we should all make plans for what happens if andĀ when things don’t quite go as we planned.

 

Backup Plan

The takeaway from today?

You will be hacked in life.

Your phone will break.

Your computer will die.

Your social media may be hacked.

You may die before you plan to.

Be prepared.

Some of us are so afraid of bad things happening in our lives, that we don’t do what it takes to be prepared.
