From the original post: “Your business is not Google and will never be Google”

From the post directly above: “Most businesses…”

The thread above is specifically discussing business which won’t lose a significant amount of money if they go down for a few minutes. They also postulate that most businesses fall into this category, which I’m inclined to agree with.

Hours, not minutes. That is relevant for most businesses.
