You only need to fix 5 things first. Here they are.
Many small business owners hear about the new data law and freeze. The list of things to fix feels too long. So they do nothing. But here is the truth — you do not need to fix everything today. You only need to start with the 5 most important places where your business uses people's information. That is it. Start small. Move forward.
Think about your daily work. You collect a resume when you hire someone. You save a customer's number on WhatsApp. You share a salary slip every month. You send a vendor someone's address. Each of these is a place where people's information moves. The new law says you must handle these carefully. You do not need a big team or a lawyer today. Just pick one of these five. Fix that first. Then move to the next.
Write down which of the 5 areas your business uses today.
Pick one area — like hiring or WhatsApp leads — and review it.
