Happy rainy Friday.  Just want to let everyone know that I don’t have any classified documents in my garage, in the trunk of my old Camry or otherwise.  I didn’t tell anyone to lie about it [wagging finger] not even one time.

Biz Briefing:  Trusting My First Instinct

I got involved with a new (business) client over the past 2 months.  One of my business advisors told me not to get involved.  I didn’t listen.  I knew from the get go it was going to be a combative, if not hostile situation.  I then thought I am going to ask for a $1500 non refundable retainer and a few other conditions.  I didn’t listen to myself.  I got talked out of it.  99% of my client interactions are wonderful and warm situations.  My loose, warm, no hard line policies have worked for me for years.  However, the hard core business world isn’t always meant for teddy bears.  I don’t have contracts or service agreements. I don’t even think I would have the resources to pay someone to draw them up.  I ended up getting $burned$ by this situation. Lesson learned  I have got to stick to those warm and friendly encounters and trust my instinct on negative vibes that I get. Not every potential client is a match.

The Complete Menu

So now I want to talk about many of the services I can offer for you….

1. Comprehensive pre-purchase consultations for computers, iPhones, iPads — I will provide these services at no charge, including help with ordering if a client is going to have me set up their device for them.   If the client wants to set it up themselves or just wants a report to contemplate for later — I simply bill for my time.

2. Set up of computers, smartphones, tablets, printers.

3. Set up of TV’s that don’t need to be mounted — including setting up streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Apple TV +) and streaming players (Fire Stick, Roku,  Google TV, Apple TV)

4.  Virus / Malware / Adware — computer security mitigation — including reports for your bank when required

5.  Freeze Credit Reports  – give yourself the ultimate protection

6. General computer / technology troubleshooting  (note – I do not personally replace screens on iPhones or laptops, but I can take your devices and get this done for you)

7.  Back Up —  backing up your data and establishing a backup plan

8.  Computer / Technology Training — Whether you are staying for extra-credit or sitting in the back of the class — I believe you have the power to learn

9. Set up new WiFi routers — especially the newer mesh WiFi systems (ie. Eero)

10.  Computer updates and resets — upgrade an existing operating system or wipe and reinstall

11.  New E-mail address / custom private email address — Whether you want to start fresh with a new free address or you want a custom e-mail like you@yorudomain(dot).com — I can help you get this done.
