Self Employment and Your Computer

Posted by KC Morgan Sep 8, 2006

So, Friday afternoon, after a lazy morning, I decided it was finally time to get some work done. A very organized person, I keep daily check lists so that I can be sure to get everything done, all assignments turned in on time. The secret to my self employment is in writing everything down.

I settled myself before my computer and turned it on.

Nothing. A clicking. No life on the screen.

Unfortunately for me, my computer had gone through a meltdown - and right before a holiday weekend. When it comes to self employment and your computer, you simply can't have one without the other - not in this day and age. I was terrified. I was frantic!

I was in a whole lot of trouble. I've learned, quite by accident, that it's a good idea to have an emergency plan in place. Technology fails, computers go kaput, and self employment waits for no machine. Know where you can access a computer to complete self employment goals, know what you're going to do if a piece of equipment fails. Know how to get through a problem like mine.

Trust me, you'll be glad you did.
