5 Fantastic Tips to Boost Your Tech Skills and Increase Your Profits At The Same Time

I must admit that I am always on the dull side of technology. Being on the cutting edge has never truly been exciting for me. If there was ever a person who waited till the last minute to make a change with his technology, it was ME. Life changed drastically for me when I got my first iPhone. I am still astounded by the power of this magnificent device.

Just to give you an idea of how powerful it is, I attended an event one time and was able to sell more than $1,000 in products because of my iPhone and the tools that I used along with it. Guess who LOVES technology now. Yep it’s ME! I want to share with you 5 Fantastic Tips on how I went from a techno “dud” to acing everything that I want to know about anything tech-related. Here we go!

1. Invest Time: It takes time to learn anything new. When it comes to mastering tricks and tips on your new iDevice, time is needed. It will be time well spent when you figure out how to use tools that save you time, simplify the complex or save money. Of course there are many other aspects of your life that you desire to enhance or change. Put in the time and reap the benefits.

2. Google It: You only need to know one thing when it comes to boosting your tech skills. That one thing is the topic of your interests. When you have a topic of interest, Google it! You will find articles, videos, and training programs. You may remember the days when not everyone had a computer. Now, it is difficult to find a person who doesn’t have a computer and access to the Internet. Every search engine is at the tip of our fingers. If you don’t like Google, try Yahoo!, Bing or Dogpile.

3. Make Learning Fun: Use technology to your advantage. There is nothing to be afraid of when it comes to improving your business. Since we have been doing a lot of video in our business lately, I found a really cool training that has taught me a lot about the iPhone and iPad. It really was the best $97 I have spent in a long time. Also the course is fun, interactive and powerful.

4. Practice What You Learn: Repetition is needed in order for your skills to become sharp. Do you remember typing class in high school? You may have thought, “What is a home row? How can my little fingers reach those numbers without me lifting my hand off the keyboard?” Now, after many years of practice, typing is second nature. Let your new tech skills become the same way.

5. Implement What You Know: After putting in practice and becoming adept at your new tech skills, don’t stop there. Now is the time to use your new skills to improve every aspect of your life especially your business. As a Virtual Assistant, you really need to become good friends with technology. It is forever changing and will be forever useful.

Your virtual business needs you to take hold of the reigns and use technology to your advantage. As you continue to increase your technology know-how, you will cause phenomenal growth to occur in your business.
