About

Hello there, I’m Ernie Bryan and I’ve spent a good chunk of my adult life, more exactly, 20 years, serving my country while in the U.S. Army.  I retired from the Army in 2004 and now call Maryland home with my lovely wife of 25 years.

MY STORY

During my time in the Army, following high school graduation, I’ve had the pleasure to live and serve around the world and I always had the desire to help people in anyway I could, and I did.  Some 30+ years later, I am still very passionate to help my fellow “soldier” and with this particular blog, my small business colleagues like yourself.

WHY SAFEGUARDING YOUR BUSINESS BLOG?

With this blog, I want to provide what I’ve learned in the Army, aka, actionable intelligence, meaning very practical information that you can use immediately to safeguard you and your business, plus sharing what I’ve honed during the last 11 years as a consultant and small business owner in the Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery Planning industry, helping federal departments and agencies safeguard their essential functions.

For example, whether it’s providing advice from a CPA regarding accounting best practices for your business, practical legal advice from an Attorney, an Insurance Broker sharing the correct type and amount of business insurance you should have, productivity hacks, advice on how to market your business, hire a new employee or Virtual Assistant, or even a Computer Security Specialist educating us on ways to protect critical data on our business computers, my goal here is to provide you the actionable intelligence from these subject matter experts in many more relevant topics.

My primary audience is the small business entrepreneur, solepreneur, home-based business owner, and wantrapreneur and I thank you for taking the time to read this and look forward to seeing you on the blog sometime soon.

Hooah!

Ernie
