You now that life moves fast but technology moves fast as well. I’m not referring to advances in computing power or how tech becomes smaller\/lighter\/etc.<\/p>\n

I’m talking about implementation and use of technology in your business and communication. When you choose to implement a technology you need to embrace and use that technology. After you decide to take the plunge you should create a plan to use and follow through on it’s use to stay up to speed on the trends of how to use it.<\/p>\n

If you bought an iPhone and just use it as a simple phone to text\/make calls and nothing else then you are missing out on it’s power.<\/p>\n

If you have a WordPress site built and want to blog on it then fail to do so you are missing out on it’s power.<\/p>\n

When you fail to use any new technology that you purchase you also loose out on keeping up with best ways to use that tech.<\/p>\n

How do you solve this\u00a0dilemma\u00a0of implementing tech products but not using them?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One thing is to find a local MeetUp that focuses on the subject you want to keep up on. A great one in Orange County is SMMOC it meets on Saturday mornings from 9-11am. It’s not every week but when it’s in session it’s a great place to learn from others using technology for their business.<\/p>\n

Find out here -> SMMOC on MeetUp<\/a><\/p>\n

You can of course hire someone for monthly mentoring\/training sessions. But sometimes it is\u00a0better to seek out local meetups to learn from others and to also help foster new ideas that someone can help you implement AND maintain.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else you can do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes!<\/p>\n

Stop trying to implement every new fangled toy\/tech that comes out. Just because someone else says it’s new and should be added to your business doesn’t mean it’s right for you.<\/p>\n

How do you determine if it’s right for your business?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course you can ask me. But also don’t only take my word for it. Just because I have an opinion still doesn’t mean it’s the right opinion for your business. Ask many more people. Look at others in your industry to see what they are doing.<\/p>\n
