The Computer Nightmare
I’ve been needing to replace my computer for more than two years, but the pain of doing so made me keep putting it off.
You see – the last time I replaced my computer was about five years ago.
And let me tell you, it was a NIGHTMARE.
As much as I tried to make the process go smoothly, all my efforts were in vain.
I hired a tech guy who was a “so called expert”, and it took the two of us more than 17 hours to get all of the programs, files, documents and resources transferred from the old computer, over to the new one.
Let me tell you, it was a LOOOOONG, ugly day.
And needless to say, I wasn’t excited about the thought of repeating this process again.
So…
For the last two years, I continued to work with an outdated, slow computer, even though it was extremely frustrating for me.
The thing would lock up on me for no apparent reason.
It would take forever for programs to open.
If I was working on a major project, and had multiple windows open – well, you get the picture.
The whole time, I’m thinking to myself, “You REALLY need to get a new computer”.
But the thought of re-living that nightmare again was too painful.
It was as if I was trapped in “no man’s land”.
Then - it happened:
A couple weeks back, I got SOOOO fed up with my computer, that I decided to head down to Best Buy, so I could at least check into the possibility of getting a new one.
The thing I really like about Best Buy is the fact that their employees are NOT on commission, and that being the case, they shoot straight with you, and give you the “real deal” on the products they offer.
After speaking with Kim (one of their associates), and telling her of my last computer buying experience, she was able to put me at ease.
She promised me that their Geek Squad would take care of everything, and that the entire process would be “as simple as pie”.
And let me tell you, she wasn’t kidding.
I was SOLD, and I bought the new computer.
The following day, I delivered my old one to the Geek Squad, and told them what I needed.
Four hours later, they called on my cell and told me they were done.
I bring the computer home, hook it up, turn it on – and WAHLAH.
I was back in business – with no pain, no muss, and no nightmare.
Talk about an incredible experience.
And yes, just in case you’re wondering, I LOVE this new computer.
It’s fast, it’s got a ton of great features, and it allows me to be so much more productive – which means I can take even more time off.
It’s a good thing too – because I plan on spending a lot of time with my new son Brock over the coming months.
After going through this process, it got me thinking…
How many other people have had bad experiences in the past, and as a result, they too feel trapped in “no-man’s land”.
Maybe you’ve taken someone at their word, and they let you down.
Maybe you’ve tried to start a business of your own, but can’t make it profitable for whatever reason.
Maybe you’ve taken advice from someone, and it turned out to be bad advice.
If you’ve had anything like this happen, I’ve got GREAT news for you.
Your past does NOT equal your future.
And it took the Geek Squad to remind me of this truth.
Because here’s the deal…
If I’d gone to them five years ago, I wouldn’t have had the nightmare.
I wouldn’t have spent the last two years dealing with an outdated computer.
I wouldn’t have been so frustrated.
In short, life (and business) would have been SO MUCH better.
And like me, all you need is a fresh perspective from someone who understands what you’ve been through, knows how to get you un-stuck, and more importantly, how to get you moving forward.
In case you didn’t know, I’m currently hosting the "Automatic Income Secrets Update Series".
In fact, we just finished the 2nd training call last Friday, and my clients are raving about all the actionable strategies, tools and resources I’ve been giving them.
The regular investment for this training series is $1,200.00, but as a client, you get to join us for FREE-ola.
Like I said, we’re getting ready to have the 3rd training call, but if you’d still like to get in, I’ll make sure you don’t miss out on a thing, by giving you the recordings of the training calls we’ve already had.
To join us, pick up your copy of the Automatic Income System by going here

You’ll then get in on the "Automatic Income Secrets Update Series" (a $1,200.00 value) for FREE-ola.
I look forward to speaking with you on the next training call.
Dedicated to your success,
Kevin Thompson
