Resources I Love for Building a Great Business
FAVORITE ONLINE BUSINESS TOOLS
My go-to project management tool that is quick for everyone to learn and easy to use. It organizes tasks, has “privacy features” for just my team, shares group messages, and holds project schedules.
The best graphic design tool for the non-pro designer for a huge variety of professional and personal projects.
Online invoicing SaaS tool that holds true to their tagline “painless billing”. It gives me a variety of ways to track my time so I can customize it by client and seamlessly create and track invoices.
Get Gmail and Google Drive accounts that match your website domain for more storage, file sharing, and with professional branding. Most of your team is probably already familiar with it, plus it has great compatibility with mobile devices.
Teachable is my favorite tool for course creation . It’s incredibly easy to use, facilitates affiliate management, and offers user friendly student and administration dashboards.
This product makes it so easy to interact face-to-face and in real time. Great for meetings and webinars. There are a variety of easy-to- use features that actually work and everything is backed up to the cloud.
Favorite Productivity Tools
Makes scheduling meetings with my team almost effortless despite crazy schedules. (And I’m perfectly content with the free version.)
Evernote is the FREE brain dumping/note-taking app I always come back to. It stores and organizes all sorts of information using notebooks that can be shared easily.
Use Loom when you need to communicate ideas quickly and effectively. Rather than taking static screenshots and typing a lot of explanatory text, Loom gives me an easy (and highly personalized way) to demonstrate what I’m trying to convey.
LastPass is the best free password manager you’ll find. It has a variety of features, rates as being highly secured and allows for easy sharing.
Team communication, group chat including audio and video, easy document sharing, and direct message. A phenomenal collaboration tool that easily integrates with all devices.
Are you a constant learner? Organize and collect content on the go, so it’s ready when you need it. Simplified Planner: Yup – a good ole’ paper planner keeps my brain in check. I have tried the Passion Planner and Savor Life Planner, but at the end of the day this creates a simple space to make notes and frees up brain space without all of the “extras”.
Legal Protection
Attorney for entrepreneurs, Alli will help you legally protect all parts of your business. She makes the legal side of business stress free and all of her consulting is accessible and understandable. (And she is a delight to work with!) I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ali’s services.
