Common Issues
Problems I Solve Every Week
Real issues for homeowners and small businesses that waste time and money.
Paying too much for cable?
$150-$200/month for cable TV is ridiculous when you can get everything you watch for $30-50/month with streaming. I'll help you cut the cord, set up your streaming devices, and show you how to get all your channels without the cable company bill. Most people save over $1,000 a year.
Wi-Fi slow or unreliable?
Dead zones, dropped calls, buffering videos, slow speeds. It's frustrating whether you're working from home or running an office. I'll figure out what's wrong (usually it's router placement or outdated equipment) and fix it so you have reliable internet everywhere you need it.
Business tools don't connect?
Your CRM doesn't talk to your email. Your scheduling app is separate from your invoicing tool. You're copying data between systems all day. I can connect your tools so information flows automatically, which saves hours every week and cuts down on errors.
Website not helping your business?
Your website should do more than look nice. It should capture leads, connect to your CRM, let people book appointments, and give you data you can actually use. If your site is just sitting there, we should fix that.
Overpaying for software subscriptions?
A lot of small businesses end up with five different tools that all do the same thing, or expensive subscriptions they barely use. I'll help you figure out what you actually need and cut out the rest. Most people save a few hundred bucks a month just by cleaning up their software stack.
Home office tech not working right?
Working from home means your technology has to be reliable. Slow computer, bad Wi-Fi, video calls dropping, printer issues — I'll get your home office set up properly so you can actually get work done without the tech headaches.
