Business And IT With Paul Richardson
Owner and founder of Inception Support, expert mac support for business and home, Paul Richardson joins Tracy this week on Sweat Grit & Hustle. Today Paul shares not just how he got to being his own boss, but also shares snippets of his knowledge in computing for those looking to create or grow a business for themselves.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When Paul left his old job to start his own business he didn’t want to poach any clients from his former company, so much so that he didn’t even tell his clients that he was leaving. When he did start up his business, some former clients seeked him out to hire him again. Paul found word of mouth so important at this stage.
- After Paul helped one client with a security problem in her IT system, she said to him “thank you, I can sleep tonight now”. That’s why he loves doing what he does.
- When using cloud based storage, you can end up with synchronisation errors. When you store it all over one or more computers in your network, then you don’t get these errors and you can replace the computers when needed.
- NAS - Network Attached Storage.
- Make your passwords unique because if one password is compromised then the hacker doesn’t have the keys to the kingdom.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I love running my own business, I’m unemployable now’
‘I’m doing my dream job, I fix computers for a living and people pay me to do it’
‘The biggest security problem out there is not the computer, it’s the user’
‘Do not follow links unless you’re absolutely sure you know where it takes you’
