I Bow At Their Feet...

Man_stupid

So, have you EVER done something SO stupid and been saved from your major mess by a friend or friends?

I have...it happened today!  I am a lucky guy...

Quick post with a message about friendship and knowing the right folks...yes, even in business.

Thursday afternoon I was looking at some old files and trying to arrange them...  I gave up after a few minutes and decided that I'd not put those files where I found them...so to unclog the system I'll just delete them and clean up the site.

What I did was take down my website!  I deleted all the files with the push of a button and only was alerted when a client called and said, "Hey, how come I am forbidden from going to your site?"

I called my friends at DWebware here in Des Moines.  Matt Mann and Andy Priestley went to work and I was back up in fifteen minutes.  They had backups of everything that I had destroyed.

Bottom Line:  You can get things cheaper, you can use people and throw them away or...you can pay attention to folks you know, like and trust.  And, when the time comes...they are there for you.  Even in business...
