By a paddle, I mean that there is always a force out there, something that’s taking square aim at your business’s success and growth. There might be someone with a better product. There might be a lawsuit waiting to pounce. The economy may turn. A bank that you relied on may deny you credit. New government regulations may be ready to take effect. Your computer may be hacked. These days, it’s not ridiculous to worry about a terrorist attack, international or domestic.
