When does your editing business invest in new equipment? Is it when productivity lags? Or is it merely a matter of budget? How do you know when it’s REALLY time to replace equipment? And then what determines how much you spend?
We help Bryan decide whether to purchase a new Mac computer or stick with his old one. Plus, file storage, video editing, and impostor syndrome!
Questions to ask before you buy that thing…
- Is this an emotional desire or practical need?
- How long will your investment to last?
- Is your need for the gear long or short term?
- Is there a work-around?
When you spend more time crashing and rebooting than editing, it’s time to get a new computer.
