Unexpected. I do my best to educate my clients to always assess opportunities
with the question, "what is the worst thing that can happen?" This approach
ensures that you prepare for everything you can think of and are prepared for
whatever that might be. Well, two weeks ago I had just such an unexpected
event. I found myself unconscious on the floor of an office at a client's
location. To say that I frightened the staff there would be a serious
understatement. My guardian angel that day ensured that I got to the hospital
and was treated immediately. Turned out that I had bleeding stomach ulcers
from anti-inflammatory drugs I had been taking and had suffered a great loss
of blood. The staff at emergency and the ward together with the specialists
got me fixed up and on the right track after three days in the hospital (thank
you). Was I ready for this? Not on your life - I had not taken my own advice,
so now have personal knowledge as to why you create contingency plans not only
for your business, but for your own life for your family and your friends. So
learn from my experience and create your plans and make certain that the key
people in your life and business know where to find them and what to act upon!
I will apologize here for scaring so many people and I also want to thank all
of those who helped and expressed their concern.

should have been expected. "
