Recently,
I scanned
a bunch of photos
borrowed from older generations.
A family had lost
all their photos
so I gave them virtual copies
of the photos we had
featuring
their family members
and their ancestors.
That won’t replace
all the photos
that were taken from them.
Many of those photos
had no copies.
But it gave them
SOME photos,
some visual tracking of history.
I gave everyone access
to the drive
where the scans are stored.
EVERYONE can have a copy.
That means the images should
never be completely lost.
What does this have
to do with building a business?
There are some documents
that you likely only have
in hard copy.
If these documents
are important to your business,
scan them
in case a fire, flood, theft
or something else happens
and they are lost to you.
