General Consultant Discussion

I just had a friend that is a sole practitioner severely injured in an accident. He had major head trauma. His family was obviously a mess and somehow found my business card. His brother called me hoping that I was someone that he could trust. We told him that we would help them in anyway that we could but you could still feel a little concern. Fortunately he regained some level of consciousness and told his family that he was pleased that we were helping him. The purpose of the post - if you are sole practitioner - make sure that your family knows how you would like things handled in your business in case you have a tragic accident. Items like a contact name of another trusted friend/reseller, passwords to your various accounts, a method to obtain a client list and a contact at Sage. You might even consider writing a letter that expresses these wishes so everyone's mind would be at ease. Not so much of a problem for those with multiple people in their organizations but I know several work by themselves. Lastly - hug your loved ones - things/lives can change quickly....

@ScottHickman - I am assuming that your post on Kim Anderson that he is the friend described here. And based on the picture at CaringBridge, he is the same Kim Anderson that is a member of the 90 Minds group. Is this correct?

That is correct Jeff.

Thanks. This is actually something I have thought about though I have done much more than thinking. Might be time to move forward.......

Experienced this last year when I was without sight for 5 months. However, I could still verbalize everything to husband and children to help with clients and duties like paying bills. But it does bring up the thought what would happen if I could not speak or lost my memory. Time to put a plan in place.

Looks like @KimAndersen is doing better, but has a ways to go. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/kimandersen

I spoke with Kim for about an hour last week. He is doing much better and was great to hear from my friend. I am sure that he will see these posts and will appreciate that everyone is thinking of him.
