Simple.

To do things quickly, efficiently and well, I like to do things simply. Recently I was asked why I make my videos in black and white, so I thought I’d respond in the best way I know how by making a video explaining it all.

In times of desperation and needing expert advice, you need to worry about the credentials of the person giving you the information. At this moment, I see way too much wrong information is being 'freely' given out disguised as 'free help' to hook you into the crap they're trying to sell to you.

The weekend is upon us, and the situation around the globe isn't getting any better. There are a ton of businesses feeling the pinch, by either lack of work or having to stay home and remote working. Hopefully, your company has an IT department to help in this situation obviously, but for those who work on their own and don't have a Tech/IT department, I'd like to offer my services, even over the...

So the newfound 'hype' or remote work is getting out of hand with this coronavirus (COVID-19) issue the world is having. As a Tech/IT guy (and speaking with my security expert colleagues) we're getting worried with the amount of 'wrong' information being out there, so I thought I'd share my thoughts on this.

The more we have, the more problems we have to deal with. This is true in all areas of our lives. Just because your technology is the newsiest, the one with the most features or has won awards, doesn't mean it will work for you. In today's episode, I share a personal story, about how the experience helped me understand the importance of being poor, having nothing, and how it helped me realise that...

If you’re like me, you probably have pushed the reset button a few times. Doing a reset, personally or professionally, is one of the best things you could do to help you find clarity.

When you're your own client, you often find things within your tool stack you never use or need. So in the past few weeks, I went through my system to figure out what I could get removed and what I could enhance to better my workflow and simplify it all.

Remote Work isn't a fad, it's one area of your business that you need to start paying attention to. The talent you're employing could be of much better calibre if you start casting your net wider. However, if your Tech & IT isn't up-to-date or you don't have the right framework for remote work, then now is the time to start thinking about it.

I've been a perfectionist for as long as I remember and it's not been a great asset to have. On the one hand, it's good to perfect something you're working on, but on the other, it can take weeks or even months to create something you're dying to get out there. But if you wait too long, the ship will sail, and you could lose out. Watch the video: https://kiakamgar.com/perfectionism-is-not-your-fri...

After reading a post in a group I'm involved with, it got me thinking about email and the services out there trying to help you organise. I find this is the wrong way to look at it. It's not email that's the problem, it's you and your organisation of it.

In the TV show Cheers, there was Norm, he sat on the same stool, drank the same beer, and did the same thing day after day. He seemed to enjoy his life, but we as a viewer saw a person who was boring and just did the same thing over and over again. Don't be Norm.

The number of times I have a client who gets annoyed they have a virus, been hacked or have malware infecting their Macs is getting beyond stupid. However, when you ask them if they have a password manager to keep their digital life safe, they all pretty much have the same answer… No!

The latest buzzword is Digital Transformation that's going around and being used as a marketing tool for selling technology that businesses don't need. Tech & IT guys like me have been doing this kind of thing for years and know what the client actually needs. Today's episode is yet another rant about how some companies and consultants know nothing about doing the work and what the client need...

Communication is one of the significant parts of your business! If it breaks down, either with your staff or your client, then bad things will happen.

Yep, sorry, I just don’t have the time! How many times have you said that to yourself, a colleague or a friend? I bet it's way more than you think it is. I’m an avid believer that no one on the planet should EVER be busy. The notion of always being busy is so alien to me that it makes me mad, annoyed and sad to hear that people as always so busy that they don’t have time to do the things they love...

It's funny to think people confuse simple with easy. I've said this before, but trying to be simple, is very hard to accomplish. Think about all the simple songs, ads and things around you. Just because you think they are simple doesn't mean they're simple to do or accomplish. So when I saw a Tweet on my feed, it got me thinking about how I work with my clients and the questions they ask me. Watch...
