Tech Without Excuses

By Paul Gordon

Tech is not glamorous, and it is not optional. The only reason to handle it properly once is so it can never again become the reason you didn't post.

Friction is the enemy's favorite hiding place — the cable, the setting, the "I'll figure it out tomorrow." Every one of those is a door back out of the work.

You are the product

The gear exists to get out of the way of the product, which is you. Learn your recording app's settings once. Set your defaults. Remove the daily negotiation. Boring competence here buys you years of not-stopping.

This isn't a reason to shop. It's a reason to stop shopping — decide your setup once and never relitigate it before a recording again.

Take it further

Notice the friction you hide behind — the cable, the setting, the "I'll figure it out tomorrow." Decide your setup once, so it can't be the excuse again.

The full system — every exercise and the 36-day practice — lives in the book MEAN IT. and the 5 Minute CEO program. Work with Paul →
