You need to keep your records safe because they are treasure. For example, you should be storing information on separate devices and each should have a number of secure backups. Moreover, these should be private because you have a legal obligation to do so.
2. Know Your Competition
Any good business owner will always know its competition. You must know who you are competing against so you can do a SWOT analysis which will strengthen you. This strategy is most important in the online world.
