A business owner noticed that her business website’s SSL certificate has expired and her website visitors dropped sharply. Previously, she was told the system was configured to automatically renew the SSL certificate. She noticed this event on Saturday afternoon. She sent a quick email to the web developer about it. Usually, she gets a reply within the hour even weekend but not this time.
Two important questions to ask yourself when you worry
- What is the worst going to happen?
- Can you handle the consequences?
These questions would help you to mentally assess the worst-case scenario. When you know the worst-case scenario from a situation, and you know you can handle it, this gives you the confidence to make a good decision to move forward, to resolve the issue of what is under your control.
For this business owner, her answer to the first question was visitors numbers would drop sharply until the SSL is sorted.
Her answers for the second question were the developer may ignore her email and she has to find another developer to do it and the site continues to be insecure for a couple of days or a week or more thus visitors number continue to drop.
To cut the long story short, she can handle the consequences. The next day, the developer replied with a suggestion that she has to find an alternative to configure the automatic SSL renewal. This was one of her expected response. No big deal.
Subsequently, she decided to look it up on the internet to see how easy is it to configure an SSL certificate. Just to get an idea. She read some configuration documents published by the hosting company.
Trial and errors here and there. She spent a good whole afternoon about 6 hours Studying the technical instructions on SSL certificate renewal configuration. Somehow, she managed to configure the automatic SSL renewal for her site successfully.
She said having a worry no more mindset allows her to be patiently read and absorb the information she read. In her mind, knowing what is the worst going to happen? encourage her to try and whatever’s she learns would be gain and whatever she does the outcome cannot be worst than what it is.
Thinking back, she shall thank the developer not able to re-configure the SSL renewal because he has made her a smarter person and she now knows how to do it herself. Should he helped her, she would not have learnt the new skill.
All the best
