    Are you using the proper tools?

    When it comes to this business there are all sorts of tools you can use to make yourself more productive which increases the amount of $$$ in your pocket. There are software tools like statsremote... there are computer hardware tools like an external harddrive to backup your work (which everyone that is serious about this business should have) and then there are the type of tools that i think many people don't give enough consideration to...

    like the the chair your are sitting in...

    I spent many years sitting in cheap, lowgrade chairs while I banged away on my computer building my business... the other day I was working and started getting a huge back ache... I realized the chair I was sitting it wasnt cutting it anymore... that day I went out and bought a highend ergonomically designed office chair that I think will help me spend longer times at the keyboard without paying the price in back pain..

    I bought a CXO chair:



    or how about the screen you are looking at...

    I spent many years staring at my 15 inch screen on my laptop - i guess it was just force of habit - I was so used to that screen i didnt even consider anything else... well the other day i invested in a 23" widescreen, flatscreen LCD monitor and I must say it was worth every penny! After using it for almost 2 weeks I noticed the difference in not having to squint to see what I was programming -- that extra 8" (more than 50% increase in size) really makes a huge difference especially considering the amount of hours a day you spend staring at the monitor. I can already feel I am working more productively and the money I spent on the monitor will more than pay for itself over time.

    my new 23" monitor is a HP f2304:



    so think about the tools you are using... are you using an old busted up mouse to build your sites? go to Best Buy and invest some money on a better mouse!! I truly believe any money you spend on upgrading the tools you use everyday will benefit you in the long run as long as the upgrade makes you more efficient in relation to the price.



    Build something everyday.

            Although, the right equipment comes after having enough to get some $$$ rolling in to finance it I guess

              for sure, i couldn't afford dropping this much cash when i first started out, but just keep in mind as you grow your business that these types of tools are more like investments - not expenses - if they help you work more productively.
