I came across a story this week about a 102-year-old man still helping people with their computers… and honestly, I love everything about it.

Dean Simes only got his first computer this century, and now he’s become the go-to person in his community for tech support, helping others understand something that many still find overwhelming.

There’s something really powerful in that.

Not just the longevity… but the mindset.

A genuine curiosity to keep learning.
A willingness to stay relevant.
And a desire to help others, person to person, not just point them to a help article and move on.

That’s the kind of approach I admire.

It’s also exactly why I love what I do.

Coaching business owners to streamline their processes, systemise the moving parts, and actually use the tools available to them properly… not just have them sitting there unused or half set up, presuming someone in the business is using things efficiently and with ease.

Because when someone understands how to use their systems well, everything changes.
Less overwhelm. More clarity. Better results.

And ideally, with a bit of fun along the way too.

I hope I’m still learning, adapting and sharing what I know well into my later years.

Because if a 102-year-old can stay curious, helpful and across technology…

We’ve really got no excuse. (Well I guess I'm off to watch another AI tutorial to stay relevant! Good one Dean, you're amazing)

Business brekky with these legends!

Hanging out with these legends this morning! Another great catch up at BX Networking in Caloundra!

Here's a fantastic post from Wayne Donnelly with some great tips on change, something we often want to do, but can be hard, without the right tools and help.

Wherever you are in life right now, whether you’re thriving, just coasting along, or maybe you’ve hit a wall, I want you to know you can change your life.

Exactly 20 years ago this week, I hit that wall. I was done. I didn’t want to be here anymore.

But that moment became the turning point.

Through hypnosis and NLP, I discovered how to completely rewire my mind and that shift saved my life. It gave me purpose. It gave me power. It gave me freedom.

And today, I want to share a few simple but powerful steps that can help you do the same.

Here's an even you won't want to miss!

Kyle the legend from Social Geeks is running a 2 hour hands-on workshop on Google Ads.

So if you've always wanted to learn how to do this for your business, or you want to check if you're on the right track then this is the event to head to.

Book in, charge your laptop and get clarity and guidance on the most effective way to set up ads for your business.

I'm going! (don't let that put you off, hahaha!)

Drowning in emails every day?

Whilst I personally use Google Workspace (the professional business version of Gmail) for my business and have automations and hacks to the moon and back, I acknowledge there still Microsoft Outlook users out there too.

Yes, I see you.

So here's an article with some handy tips on how to use the 'rules' feature.

Rules help clear the noise and keep your inbox focused.

They’re quick to set up and work quietly in the background.

* Sort client emails into folders automatically
* Flag urgent messages before they get buried
* Clear out low-priority updates in one click

It's always surprising when I see this email from Google.

It's their regulary summary of results from reviews I've done; over 30,000 total views of reviews I've done. This image has the most recently visited cafe showcased - shout out to Cotton Tree Beach Bar :)

It's surprising how much of a difference it can make to take the time to leave reviews for businesses that you have dealt with.

I try my best to do this regularly; I even have a system to help me remember to do it.

Because let's be honest, we all '𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱' to do it, even taking photos of fab meals or venues or products, but it's very easy to get distracted or busy and not get around to it.

I would encourage anyone who's had fab service from a business recently to take a moment to pause, reflect and share the love with a Google Review for them, because you never know how much of a difference this makes to not just the business you review, but those that use reviews to guide their purchase decisions.

Your Nerd, Rose.

Ok they nailed this post so I had to share it.

The message is clear but delivered with humour, my favourite!

Seriously though, 2FA is essential these days to help protect your logins.

Yes it is inconventient, because we all have to log into so much stuff these days and so many times.
We also have less a lot less patience for logging in too.

However, it's a lot less inconvenient than the alternative.

So, stop reading this post or searching for the odd letter sequence from the AFP repost and set up 2FA on your key accounts.

Oh and no clicking 'Remember this device for # days' or you've just defeated the purpose.

Said with love and care.

Your Nerd Rose.

One of these doesn’t say AFP - find the odd one out.

Spot it? Well done!

If you’ve got time to do this, you’ve got time to set up multi-factor authentication to help secure your online accounts. Just saying…
