We live in a world where technology is there to help us, and for the most part, it does. However, some things have that simply too much tech!

I know this is a weird angle, but today's Friday Fury, I want to talk about technology.

Too much technology!!

This is my car. I love my car. Have a look at it. It's a great car. It's a Mercedes. It doesn't squeak. I love this thing. It's comfortable.

I bought the longer version because I wanted my dog, Woof!, to be comfortable in the back.

It's taken me to Spain and Portugal twice on two different trips. The first time I was there, the starter motor died. And because of the way it's built, you had to pull the engine out.

And obviously I couldn't do it. I couldn't find anyone in Portugal or Spain to do it. So I limped it home, literally 20 hours.

I didn't sleep. I had naps. I didn't sleep. I limped it home, got it fixed. It was great. It was awesome.

But ever since then, I've noticed little things going wrong, little sensors, because this thing has a computer. All modern cars have computers and a lot of technology for it to work.

The problem with computers in cars is that once one thing goes, something else goes. And it's a domino effect.

So having too much technology in one thing, as you know, is never a good thing. That's why I say get rid of too much technology. You don't need it in your business.

If you have too many SOPs, too many email addresses, too much tech, again, domino effect. And that's what happened with my car.

Yesterday, I was in Germany. I drove to Germany to relax. I got to the parking spot, all of a sudden the ABS light came on.

Now I've had this issue before, 'cause I went to a garage there and he helped me fix it. It was a switch.

It was like a 20-buck switch, and it put it in, and it worked.

The problem was that it happened again, and I don't know what it was.

So this morning, I had to limp it all the way to my garage. I'm at my garage at the moment. And as soon as I got here, the problem went away, and I couldn't believe it.

So now I don't know what the hell the problem is. So we're going to go down to the guy again, put it on a computer, and test it again.

But the point is, too much technology, too much freaking technology can cause headaches with everything.

And that's why I say, get rid of too much tech in your business. Too many emails, too many SOPs, as I said. There's too much stuff that you just do not need.

And that's what happens with modern cars. Too much tech! That's why I'm rebuilding my Blazer.

So when I do go away I can fix it and usually with old cars you can fix it with a hammer and away you go get rid of too much tech you'll be a lot happier.

Anyway have a great weekend, yes Friday, obviously I'll see you next week.

Get rid of tech!
