Dispelling a Myth

I don’t know about you but I consider myself to be of novice to intermediate skill level. I have a lot of problems with clicking till the cows come home only to discover the cows went elsewhere. My cows sometimes end up in the twilight zone.

I am fortunate to have a partner that is a computer whiz (Justin Hawkes).
Without him it would be a lot more difficult to attain the results we are getting. Clicking and writing articles is the easy part but when it comes to codes, protocols and html and trouble shooting; I am often lost, real fast. Am I an idiot or are there some people who are just born with that natural ability?

All I know is that I am not born with it. I try to learn as fast as I can and I think I am pretty quick to catch on but don’t ask me to repeat last weeks lessons because it all gets mulled up into a pile that is hard to retrieve.

I can only conclude that you need significant computer skills to be successful in running an on-line business. It is like driving a racing car and Grandpa might not be an Andretti. I can drive a small car, preferably an automatic, but a racecar (although tempting) is best left to the professional. I like taking lessons from the professional and sometime he lets me try out the real thing but only with him as a co-driver. A race car is just too expensive to crash.

So it is with the on-line business (in my humble opinion). My livelihood depends on it and why would I take the risk of ‘crashing’ it.
I love this business and all it entails. I believe that one of my strengths lies within the ability to know my limits. When it comes to computers and technical stuff I gladly bow out to my esteemed mentor; no pride lost here.

My suggestion is for those of us that are in the same category….find yourself a competent partner that has skills you don’t and I am sure it will pay off big time!
