I am in Starbucks as I write this.
I had client meetings with others in Pasadena, Philly, Seattle, West LA, and Florida this week. All without driving anywhere past my nearest Starbucks or Public Library.
You are feeling the pain of this economy and so am I. Even $50 a month saved can make a significant difference if used effectively.
I am in the business of helping make others successful so here is what I do to remain competitive as a small business owner and entrepreneur. I coach, train, and support others as they walk down this journey toward competitive advantage with technology.
Working In The Cloud
The Internet is quickly becoming the new railway of business. Many business activities rely heavily on it and this is just reality. Resisting it is like resisting the use of credit cards. You can do it but it will cost you much more than its worth. For example, I won’t even shop in a store that doesn’t accept Visa or Mastercard. (more…)
I am in the San Marino Public Library as I write this.

Local Public Libraries
Long the domain of the academics, Public Libraries offer a tremendous opportunity for small businesses looking to improve their tech savvy and efficacy. My local library provides quite a few business savvy amenities thanks to taxpayers like myself:
- Private meeting rooms complete with data/power equipped table, 4 chairs, whiteboards and Internet access. In fact, 98.9% of Public Libraries have Internet Access which is becoming the new railway of commerce. This opens up the use of web phone, collaboration, and communication services within the private and quite rooms. I have even recorded Podcasts in these rooms with great success. (more…)
I get so many questions about technology.
Mostly from the non-geek crowd which tend to have the most to lose when it doesn’t work.
Tech stuff tends to cost more and in this economy, fully utilizing what you do have and making it last longer and work better could make a big difference in your success.
To make this valuable information available to a wider range of people, I have begun a podcast that will focus on the digital coaching aspect of my business.
Focused on new and creative ways to use what you have rather than fixing and solving problems which requires a bit more attention.
For example, podcasts like mine are a great way to stay healthy by walking more while learning about cooking, law, or how to make better use of your iPhone. The latter is the focus of the first episode “iPhone Gets Podcast Hungry” which focuses on a recently released upgrade to the iPhone related to podcasting.
