When you’re your own client, you often find things within your tool stack you never use or need. So in the past few weeks, I went through my system to figure out what I could get removed and what I could enhance to better my workflow and simplify it all.

Remote Work isn’t a fad, it’s one area of your business that you need to start paying attention to. The talent you’re employing could be of much better calibre if you start casting your net wider.

However, if your Tech & IT isn’t up-to-date or you don’t have the right framework for remote work, then now is the time to start thinking about it.

I’ve been a perfectionist for as long as I remember and it’s not been a great asset to have. On the one hand, it’s good to perfect something you’re working on, but on the other, it can take weeks or even months to create something you’re dying to get out there. But if you wait too long, the ship will sail, and you could lose out.

After reading a post in a group I’m involved with, it got me thinking about Email and the services out there trying to help you organise. I find this is the wrong way to look at it. It’s not Email that’s the problem, it’s you and your organisation of it.

In the TV show Cheers, there was Norm, he sat on the same stool, drank the same beer, and did the same thing day after day. He seemed to enjoy his life, but we as a viewer saw a person who was boring and just did the same thing over and over again. Don’t be Norm.

The number of times I have a client who gets annoyed they have a virus, been hacked or have malware infecting their Macs is getting beyond stupid. However, when you ask them if they have a password manager to keep their digital life safe, they all pretty much have the same answer… No!

The latest buzzword is Digital Transformation that’s going around and being used as a marketing tool for selling technology that businesses don’t need. Tech & IT guys like me have been doing this kind of thing for years and know what the client actually needs.

Today’s episode is yet another rant about how some companies and consultants know nothing about doing the work and what the client needs by selling Tech to line their pockets.

Communication is one of the significant parts of your business! If it breaks down, either with your staff or your client, then bad things will happen. You could lose money, your client’s trust and even staff morale. Is it worth it?

Yep, sorry, I just don’t have the time! How many times have you said that to yourself, a colleague or a friend? I bet it's way more than you think it is. I’m an avid believer that no one on the planet should EVER be busy.

The notion of always being busy is so alien to me that it makes me mad, annoyed and sad to hear that people as always so busy that they don’t have time to do the things they love to do in their lives.
