As I'm sure most of you, especially those over 50, can attest to, technology is changing at an incredible rate. I am not one of those who complains about it, I thrive on it. When I was growing up, part of the time we had a "party line," now I can "facetime" with a friend in a village without electricity or running water in Tanzania. The fact that we are all more connected is a great gift.


So how do you keep up with the learning curve, its okay to ask children or even grandchildren how to do a certain "thing," but what about for your business?

 

Gift

 

Saturday I went to Secaucus (!!) and took a 3 hour, $97 course with a great business mentor of mine ( http://www.carriewilkerson.com ) whom I first met on Twitter nine years ago. It was so inspiring about all the opportunity we have right in front of us to grow our businesses (and our LIVES). This morning (Tues 5/22), I went to a FREE Facebook Ads training at NYU, once again so much right under my nose that can help me.

 

I am slowly curing myself of "Dorothy Gale" syndrome.

It IS all right in my own backyard. And I don't even have yard...

 

"...if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with." - Dorothy, Wizard of Oz, 1939

Always ask the kids....
I still recall what mine showed me as pre-teens and they still do this very day; even last time we were out with one -- just last week. and I still need to implement it.

I try to keep up and my grand kids help...

That’s a good source, it’s almost natural to them.

Each day I realize how truly little I know and am determined to learn---unfortunately finding time has not been easy. When I reach out to my children, rather than walk me through something they insist on either grabbing my phone or my mouse and addressing it directly (no help at all since I learn nothing). Although I know that technology has made life so much easier I am concerned with the ease people I know nothing about, and/or probably cannot even identify, can now infiltrate previously private areas of my life.

Yes, there is a lot to be aware of, but I still consider it a great gift.
