So, last week 100,000 flights were
cancelled all over Europe due to a huge
ash cloud from an Icelandic volcanic
eruption that blanketed the sky.

Customers were stranded for days.

People had to fend for themselves and
find their own way home in many cases.

Leave it to good old mother nature to
really show us who’s boss.

However, there is always a golden lining
to every disaster and this one happens
to be a small business lesson.

What in the heck does a crazy cloud of
volcanic ash have to do with my business,
you ask?

Well… everything.

It’s all about preparation for the unexpected.

It’s about seeing how your competition, or
the new, hungry underdog business owner on
the block is going to grab you by the
ankles and shake you so all of your lunch
money falls out of your pockets.

It’s about VISION.

As a small business owner, it’s your duty
to have a little ESP and see into the future
BEFORE is happens.

You need to learn to read between the lines
and see the little things that could
eventually lead to a huge ash cloud towering
over your business.

…and the best part is, you don’t have to
do this alone.

Networking is the most powerful way to see
into the future without making any kind of
investment.

With a network, you will get together with
a group of like-minded business owners that
are all looking at a common goal-

To grow their businesses and to help each
other solve problems that the other members
have already been through.

They learn to solve problems by looking
into the future and using the previous
experiences that each member has gone through
in order to solve a critical business problem.

…or to see the next volcanic business
eruption on the horizon.

If you want to be the next “volcano whisperer”
for small business, then fly through your cloud
of ash and click here:

I had an entirely different plan for today, but at
5:30am a huge CRASH totally changed that…

I giant rotten tree decided to fall on my car and
totaled it, completely ripping the driver’s door off.

So, in lieu of what I had planned, today’s Tip
Sheet is all about insurance.

Insurance can come in many forms.

It can come in the form of your corporate structure
such as “S” or “C” corp, LLC, sole proprietorship etc.

Having insurance and the right business structure
will be critical to your well-being.

Insurance is kinda like cleaning a toilet. You know
you need to do it, but the “fun scale” is at zero.

You can’t just “hope for the best” with your business.

You need to get the proper amount of insurance and
proper business structure for whatever venture you
are going into.

I am not about to give any legal advice here, but I
do know that much.

Talk to an attorney and an insurance agent that you
can trust. These people will end up being on your
business team in the future and you will go to them
for advice when the time comes.

…so you might as well start now.

No, I am not going to call my car insurance guy when
I have an important business decision to make, but
my accountant might be very helpful.

As much as you want to skimp on insurance with your
business, DON’T. It can be very affordable depending
on your industry.

It can also get really pricey if you have a lot of
employees and previous claims. It all depends on your
level of exposure, and those experts can help you
there.

The lower your level of exposure (how much you are
doing something that would likely create a claim)
the lower your rates, because most-likely you won’t
need it.

The more you actually NEED the insurance, the more
expensive it will be, like if you drive a dynamite
truck or something… then you might as well find a
different business.

That’s the way insurance works. The less likely you
need it, the cheaper it gets.

Insurance coupled with the proper corporate structure
even if you are a one man or woman show, is one of the
most important things you can do for yourself.

Ok, I’m done for today. Still waiting for the insurance
guy to show up.

Until tomorrow,
Joshua Black
