The I Am CEO Podcast aims to provide effective ways to build relationships, generate sales, and grow your business without having to listen to lengthy interviews.

Recently, our Chairman Brian Gill was a guest on Gresham’s podcast and shared a few pieces of advice and some insight into his journey from computer scientist to CEO.

Brian also talks about two very important things for all entrepreneurs to keep in mind: IT security and automatic data backup. One way to make sure your data and company information is secure is to implement two factor authentication. Two factor authentication is a two-step process to login to a network where you enter your username and password and a secure code after that as well. This helps to ensure that people logging onto your companies’ network are authorized and keeps it more secure.

Automatic data backups are a busy entrepreneur’s best friend. No entrepreneur has time to remember to backup their data daily, weekly, monthly, etc. As Brian mentions in the podcast, “Almost all of our data recovery clients had a backup, until they checked.” Most business start with the best of intentions to backup their data on a regular basis, but then forget over time. Unfortunately, this means that when they do lose their data, their most recent backup is from nearly 2 years ago and they’ve lost everything they saved since then. Don’t let this happen to you! Backup your data automatically.

“Almost all of our data recovery clients had a backup, until they checked.”
