Picking Your Business Email Is Really Picking Everything Else
Most business owners pick their email in about five minutes. Then they live with that choice for years.
In my experience, you're not just picking email. You're picking your calendar, your files, your meetings, and often the login for everything else.
A few things worth checking on your own setup:
Is your business running on a personal @gmail.com account? That account belongs to a person, not the business.
Did you buy Microsoft 365 through GoDaddy? The real question isn't who sends the bill. It's who controls the account.
Does the whole office share one password for info@? That's one of the easiest fixes out there.
If the person who manages your email lost their phone tomorrow, could anyone else get back in?
I wrote up a plain-English guide covering Microsoft vs. Google, the alternatives, and a five-question self-check you can run in a couple of minutes.

What a solid IT Foundation Looks Like
Most business owners don't think about their IT setup as having "gaps," not until something breaks.
In our latest post, I break down what a genuinely solid IT foundation actually looks like. Not a shopping list of gadgets, but the handful of building blocks, from hardened email to backups you've actually tested, that determine whether a bad day stays a bad day, or turns into a bad year.
This one's a callback to our very first post, and it's meant to be the reference we point back to going forward. Worth a read whether you've got 5 employees or 50.
