Bye-Bye, Computer Guy!: How to Do IT Yourself, Do It Better and Save Lots of Money (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732939004)

Anyone with the intelligence and Intestinal fortitude to run a business can learn to operate a computer. So why are so many talented entrepreneurs so frustrated with their computers?

Mark Beckley knows why, based on decades of working in corporate information technology (IT) and helping small business owners. IT concepts that work well for big business do not work for small business. IT firms looking to create annuities for themselves secured by their clients' data do not serve the needs of small business

Small businesses need a simple, stripped-down version of IT, focusing on self-reliance and using the 80-20 rule, where most folks can do up to 80% of IT on their own and get help with the rest. If you can run a successful business, you can master the basic IT concepts in a few hours of reading and practice. How many hours do you spend on your computer? How much would it be worth to be 10, 20 or even 30% more productive? Why would anyone leave that kind of money on the table? Take control and become a confident power user of your computer!
