I Love My Business

Getting this blog going has been a real challenge. I knew that I have a lot of information that I want to share and a blog seemed like a perfect place to do it. But what has been hard is thinking about writing regularly and keeping it interesting.

Finding Marlee’s blog post added to my knowing I want to be sharing my information! Click on this image to go to the article.

And now let me share three reasons why I love my business, teaching computers how to behave for their owners.

1. I meet wonderful people.

   Each client is unique. I get to sit down with people with all kinds of experiences. Part of resolving their computer issues is to understand who they are and what they want to do. I get to learn what people have done and what they are looking to do. While we are waiting for the computer to finish downloading and installing programs or are running programs to clean up malware, I get to know something about each individual and their background. I even find that I can get clients together who need one another’s business.

2. I make people smile.

   The best part of every client visit is seeing the smile when something finally makes sense.  I can see that we have gotten a problem into the open and now have a solution. The obstacle is gone. I have had a part in improving someone’s day.

3. I learn from every client.

   Each client uses the computer differently. Yes, I know that a large group will say I just use it for email and the internet, but expectations and experiences are different. One of the keys to my business is that there is more than one way to get things done on the computer and I work to find the right way for you. So, when a customer is demonstrating a computer “problem”, I learn that they are interacting with the computer differently from what I would have done.  By knowing why they chose to do it their way, I add to my computer knowledge; it helps me know how to help others.

4. It’s fun!

   Nothing more is needed here.

I can sum this all up by saying my business doesn’t feel like work.  I my business.
