Practical Advice for Owners Who Would Rather Be Running Their Business
Danielle Lemons has spent more than 20 years leading operations and delivery teams in technology. In this guide she gathers her practical advice for small business owners into 33 short chapters, each one standing on its own, so you can start with whatever is costing you the most right now. The advice is plain-spoken and built for owners who are not technical.
A Practical Field Guide to Sign-Ins, Email, Wi-Fi, Phone Bills and Team Check-Ins
Small Office Security and Systems is a short field guide with eight working checklists, each one finishable in an evening. Each chapter stands on its own, so start with whatever is costing you the most right now. It is practical, plain-English guidance for owners, office managers and front-desk leads, and it is not legal or compliance advice.
A Plain-Language Security Guide for Small Business Owners
Most website security problems are not hacks. They are setup nobody did. This short, practical guide explains website security in plain language for owners who are not technical, with a short list of things to do this week at the end of every chapter. It covers who holds the keys to your domain and hosting, the padlock, email spoofing, what your WordPress site gives away, and how to read your results from the free DirecTech Security Check.
How Local Businesses Get Found in the Age of AI Search
More and more customers no longer scroll through a page of search results. They ask an AI assistant a question like "Who's a good plumber near me?" and get back a short answer with a few businesses named in it. If your business is not one of them, you were never part of that conversation.
A note on how these were written. Written with the help of AI tools from my own articles and work.
