In my business, I have things set up exactly the way that I need them to be set up to get things done. I’ve got a good microphone, a good camera, and good lighting. I have my stand-up desk where I’ve got no distractions. There’s just the computer on a stand-up desk. I’ve got my sit-down desk where I can focus on things if I just can’t stand any longer. I have up-to-date modern machines that work well, that are clean, that are fast. And I make sure that I eat well, and sleep well, and exercise.Photo credit Get the right gear You see, your environment really does dictate how you’re going to perform. I’ve been into people’s places and I’ve sat down at that old, little, dark, dingy corner desks stuffed full of CDs and DVDs and papers and this clunky old Microsoft computer running Explorer that hasn’t been updated, never had the cache cleaned, and it’s a slow, clunky, old beast. In fact, some people don’t even have the fastest Internet they can have even if it’s available – which I don’t understand. Get productive. Get yourself a nice large screen, a good quality chair or a stand-up desk. Get yourself a modern, up-to-date computer and get serious about your business. These days, it only costs a few thousand dollars to have the most modern, fast equipment. Get crankin’! Get yourself the right gear, set your environment up for success. Remove the paper, remove the distractions, and when it all comes down to it, you know what you have to do: you have to get down to it, roll up your sleeves, and do the work that’s gonna get you the results you want. Stop ‘hiding behind crappy equipment’ as your excuse. It’s time to get on with it. I’m James Schramko, I hope you’ve enjoyed this tip. I’ll catch up with you soon. Leave your comments below.
