Are you prepared in case of a medical, family, or natural emergency? Here are some tips from my presentation to our local Chamber of Commerce this year.
Being prepared means being organized in more ways that you can probably imagine.
Being Prepared will:
1. Reduce stress and overwhelm
2. Allow you to concentrate on what is important at that moment
3. Allow others to take responsibility also.
2. Are You Prepared?
1. Life can be turned upside down in an instant.
2. You should never assume that someone else has taken
care of documentation of important numbers, papers and
accounts.
3. It is much less stressful to be prepared for life
happenings than to deal with it while you are in the
middle of the chaos.
