Any business is prone to destruction, and all money and fame have nowhere to go but down. The cause of such disasters can range from simple miscalculations of funding, to extreme forces of nature that can devastate communities and cripple industries.

If you have an online business, your worries could include yet another Dot Com crash, or bigger, better, more aggressive companies sprouting up alongside yours and completely taking in your market.

Can you keep your home or online business safe from disasters? If you want to keep your business running smoothly, all you need to remember is that you should not be reactive but proactive. That is, you should anticipate all the dangers before they come, and have all your contingency plans ready. If you are reactive, you can be caught by surprise in the event of disaster, and find your business slipping away from you through situations that are out of your control.
