This is a departure. A step off the well-trodden path of what you might normally expect from these pages. But before you furrow your brow, understand this: whether you own a business, married into one, inherited it like a pet, or merely cash your monthly cheque from one - you're already in the thick of it.
And what's coming? Well, it’s biblical. Not biblical in the wine-into-water, loaves-for-all, angels-with-trumpets sense. No, this is Old Testament stuff: wrath, pestilence, gnashing of teeth - but for spreadsheets and storefronts.

• Watch the five-minute video with an open mind - yes, just five minutes. That's about the attention span of a mosquito.
• Then, and only then, do what feels appropriate, which may involve anything from strategic panic to quiet plotting your next move over a stiff single malt.
In the period that lies ahead, the lights will go out in many businesses and across many industries. Forewarned is forearmed, as they say. And my, we'll all need both.
But there’s always light at the end of the tunnel if you’re prepared to look in that direction.....
