It was not this, hey let’s become a computer expert, it happened because of people like yourself taking the time-out to learn and play with their computers by trial and error. Most people love technology, they embrace it and yet after taking their computer home or to their business, they expect the computer to jump out of the box plug it in and start working. They have been so conditioned to expect it now (instantly). They live in a fast paced world and everything from coffee to fast-food to a cup of tea is instant. They fail to take time-out to educate themselves by reading the manual. Those that love reading manuals look in the box for a printed manual and do not find it. You as the computer savvy person are aware that it is no longer in a printed format. It is now on CD. It is a digital entity, which is intangible. Some computer makers of computer parts are getting smarter in saving money by having the manual at their particular web site. This way they save money in not having to  produce a CD.

How do I know if my technical skills are enough to
become a computer repair business owner? 

We get this question a lot with beginners.
Unfortunately many people starting a computer repair business fixing computers for a living sell themselves short. They don’t realise how valuable and marketable their technical skills are.

Ask yourself these few simple questions.

Do family, friends, work friends come to you for informal computer help? 

Do family, friends, work friends see you as the expert with computers?

Do family, friends, work friends recommend you to other people?

Do you have passion for helping people with their computers?

Do you see a smile from people after repairing their computers?

Do you get great satisfaction from helping people?

Do you take the time in reading the Manual, Yes the computer Manual?
