Our household’s
10 year old
purchased used
car
broke down.
It is taking a while
to repair.
And that is okay.
Because we kept
our previous much older car
as a potential backup.
I try to have backups
for all my older assets.
There is a replacement
for my 5 plus year old printer
in a closet.
I have multiple spare laptops
and keyboards
and other essential-for-my-business
devices.
If a device or other asset
is old
yet essential for your business,
invest
in a backup.
(This backup could be purchased used
or simply be the still functional device
the latest device replaced.)
