National Be Heard Day 2022
 |
Today is March 7th and is therefore National Be Heard Day a day for small business owners and those aspiring to be owners to get out and make their voices heard.
Now then, this day celebrates small businesses and encourages those operating them to stand up for themselves and their ideas and lay claim to their share of the market.
I was once a small business owner in the form of computer consultancy. The issues therein for me personally were those clientele who wanted to control the environment and the product such that I was sometimes placed in hardware and software environments for which I had contempt.
I decided I didn't want the money. I wanted the stupid individuals making the bad decisions to go away. I wanted the customer's employees to stop bothering me with their low end consumer grade equipment seeking upgrades.
So now, I pick and choose and have a discriminating set of criteria which set me and moreso YOU apart should I not wish to be bothered.
It is appropriate to discriminate against the stupid who wish to force their faulty ideas and impressions upon you.
In these, my latter years I can still wire up a CAT6 network, configure routers and switches, wired or wireless — sit at a keyboard and tie everything together over IP ...
Then fix things should the inevitable issue arise.
Even though this is the very day to toot your own horn, I maintain a simple web presence with a secure contact form and call it a day.
My presence is known to those with whom I work.
All the little seo stooges and other would becontent consultants who like to bypass my spam filter by utilizing my online forms just get blocked at the server as required.
The fine art of firewalling interlopers is not lost upon me either !
So if you are not like me and already have more work than you can do such that you are actively pursuing clientele; today is that day to make yourself known to the world !
I hope your pitch is refined to a tee and good luck to you all.
