How Do You Handle Tech Emergencies Over Christmas? (2025/650)

Managing technology failures during the holiday season can be stressful for business owners trying to disconnect and spend time with family. When your website goes down on Christmas Day or a client cannot access critical systems, knowing how to prioritise and respond appropriately can save both your sanity and your business reputation. Understanding the difference between truly urgent issues and those that simply feel urgent is essential for maintaining healthy boundaries whilst still protecting your business interests.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ The four key questions to determine if a tech issue is genuinely urgent and important versus merely annoying
📌 How to distinguish between completely blocked clients and those who are simply inconvenienced
🔗 Creating an emergency contact list with critical access information before the holidays begin
🛡️ Security issues that require immediate attention regardless of the date
✅ Communicating effectively with clients when problems arise during your break
📌 Knowing when to actually interrupt your holiday and when issues can wait
