40+ business owners. Two hours. A room full of questions that wouldn’t stop.
Last week’s FSB Lambeth gathering wasn’t your typical networking event.
Shimron Walters from BiteSized Genius and Neil Campbell from SMECyber laid out two uncomfortable truths:
Your business is a target. Doesn’t matter how small you are – cyber criminals don’t discriminate by turnover.
And AI? It’s not coming. It’s here. Your competitors are already using it.
The questions kept coming because everyone in that room was doing the same calculation: “If we get locked out of our systems, how many clients do we lose? If we’re the weak link in a larger company’s supply chain, do we lose that contract?” Real money. Real relationships. Real consequences.
Because here’s what keeps me up at night as a business coach: I see brilliant business owners with solid plans that will fail. Not because their ideas are wrong. But because they haven’t factored in the two forces that will reshape how they operate.
Cyber resilience means proving to bigger clients that you won’t be their security liability. That their data is safe with you. That you can still deliver when things go wrong.
AI isn’t about being a tech wizard. It’s about freeing up your time for what actually matters. To your business. To your family.
