Cloud Computing for the Solopreneur

First of all, congratulations for making faith Solopreneur: deserve a round of applause for this important decision, and here I wish you all the best in transforming the way you've found to be a great success.

"I signed up for the adventure of being a Solopreneur, and although I was convinced that to achieve many things, work from home (or go for that matter), there is one thing that I can no longer: " kämpfen should ' it systems, while other pressing problems for management. I think we've all been in a situation where the system is not simple: either she sent e-mail in the spam folder just because you're not smart enough in combating it, the famous hard disk errors and the important work of th were in their spent today evening hours are not backed up.

Now you know that I have an it background, but I fell into the trap of thinking that I'm smart enough to solve any issues that arise during the Solopreneur. How wrong I was. In fact, it is not technically savvy enough about in order to have the ability to solve problems: sufficient time and resources, includes the ability to organize and a real business opportunity to address free of charge. Only efforts should support it.

The result is that the Solopreneur, even if you're technically savvy, this means that you rely on trusted systems-you have no more it support guy-just your uncle Barry-turn problems. And where is cloud computing comes to the rescue, I believe. So how did I?

Firstly I decided my personal data management tools in the cloud to move. This means that my e-mail, calendar, to-do list, address book, now in the cloud hosted. This brings me great advantage, because I can now use my smartphone to synchronize all morning, so all I have on my cell phone when I'm on the go. Most of the time, if I get a business card from a partner or client, I kick it in my phone, it synchronizes every morning to my cloud-based system. This happened to me once (luckily it was only once), that my cell phone was stolen-but that does not mean I have lost all my contacts, I have a solid backup system in the cloud. So all I had to do was replace the phone, configure, and synchronize, then I was ready to go again.

My files, because I no longer have the bitter experience of the hard drive, I just went for cloud storage. I have the latest files I'm working in the cloud that I access from anywhere at any time. I regularly do one physical backup of my external hard drives, so I have a copy of it.

To manage my billing and customer relationship management, I went with cloud providers that have some functions (e.g., send this ugly  "bill reminder ' for some customers) is anyway how from almost anywhere in the world, you tend to forget a few things.
