#403: 5 Tips To Kiss Tech Overwhelm Goodbye

It’s important for you to know how the technology in your business works. And if you told me that 13 years ago, I might have just abandoned ship on the whole thing.  Lifestyle, financial, and time freedom...on the other side of learning and dealing with software? Not sure it’s worth it.  But after 13 years of tech trial, errors, and tragedy...I have some good news. You don’t have to be an expert at the tech in your business. And you don’t need to know everything. But choosing a few systems to use in your business and understanding how they work holistically will allow you to show up 10x more confident in your business. And in this episode, I’m helping you do exactly that. I’m spelling out five tips for overcoming tech overwhelm that I’ve learned over the last 13 years that save the day every time. If you are technologically faint of heart… ...or could just use a little confidence boost when it comes to choosing and using the software necessary to run an online business), I recorded this episode with you in mind.  I’m sharing some pretty entertaining tech flops, as well as a very tiny guest appearance from my CMO, Cho Cho! You’re in for a treat.  Also, be sure to head to my show notes to grab the freebie that goes along with this episode... and never worry about going live ever again! Here’s a glance at this episode...

[23:01]Tech Tip #4: If you have a little extra money to spare, contract it out. If you hire someone to set up your tech, take some time to have them teach you how to use it. [31:25] Tech Tip #5: Shift your mindset. Watch what you're saying to yourself. Negative self-talk does not serve you -- even if it's challenging, say to yourself that you will figure it out. [34:09] Have a plan B. Make sure you know what to do if something goes wrong. Having a back-up plan takes a little bit of time and work, but if you have one you can avoid a lot of problems.
