It's Just the Guy Who Fixes Outlook... and Other Myths That Sink Small Businesses
Small businesses don't fail because of bad technology.
They fail because of myths the quiet assumptions that keep owners thinking IT is a cost instead of a capability.
In this sharp, funny, and deeply practical field guide, Toit Bouwer an IT consultant with over two decades in the trenches dismantles the everyday nonsense that turns small companies into permanent firefights. From the "hero tech" who lives in the inbox to the owner who cuts the backup budget because "nothing's gone wrong yet," Bouwer shows how these habits quietly erode trust, profit, and sanity.
You'll learn how to:
Each chapter reads like a conversation with the one IT professional who tells you the truth instead of selling another shiny tool. You'll find bite-sized lessons, flowcharts, and checklists drawn from real SME environments all written in plain English and a dry sense of humour only someone who's actually fixed printers at 2 a.m. can deliver.
By the end, you'll see why:
"Good IT isn't magic. It's rhythm, not rescue."
Whether you manage a five-person accounting firm or a fifty-seat call centre, this book will help you stop surviving the week and start designing the next one.
No buzzwords. No fluff. Just field-tested wisdom for owners, managers, and techs who want calm, credible, and profitable IT.
For business leaders who've ever said, "We'll fix it when it breaks," this is the playbook for breaking that cycle for good.

You'll learn how to:
- Break the firefighting cycle by building preventive systems that don't rely on heroics.
- Create real visibility with scorecards, baselines, and weekly huddles that measure progress instead of noise.
- Stabilize, standardize, and systematize your operations in 90-day phases a framework any team can follow.
- Translate IT into leadership language so budgets, risks, and outcomes finally make sense at the board table.
- Turn culture into a security control where prevention becomes habit and "boring" becomes brilliant.
