Is the Fear of Technology Holding You Back From an Online Business Opportunity?

I began to address the inner aspect of this idea in my last post, and I’d like to delve into it deeper – both because I understand that place of feeling like technology is your worst nightmare in your business, and because I’ve had several people come to me with that same struggle recently.

My bottom line is, I really believe that you need to find your strengths and play to your strengths – if something is not your strength, get someone else to do it!

I am not what you’d call a technology maven – it’s just not something that’s a natural ability for me.

My daughter has to do the VCR and the tVO – I still can’t figure out how to get the tvo activated!  I have to go to my 11-year old and say, “Here, can you show me how to do this? Can you program this? Can you turn the sprinklers on? Can you program that?”…yeah, I can’t do any of that stuff.

But I don’t care – I just make sure I have people around me that can do it! If you’re not a technical person, you need to just accept it.  Come to a place of acceptance: “I’m not a technical person and I need to find other people to do it. I need to create systems for other people to do it; I need to engage other people in ways so that they’ll be willing to do it – all so I can do the things I’m better at!”

If someone were to say to me, “You need to learn how to do HTML”, I would respond, “I would rather have a root canal!” That kind of thing gives me no joy – I don’t care about it at all!

I used to feel like I needed to know how to do these things because I have a business that uses these technological aspects.  It was kind of along the lines of how can I be sure it’s done right?

But I really let go of that and said, “You know what, it’s not my brilliance. I’m going to find people that are brilliant at it or create ways that I don’t need to have that particular aspect, and trust that I’ll attract the right people that will do it well for me.” Read more
