It’s time to stop Franken-stringing software together. If you've read Free Time or been listening to this podcast, you know I am obsessed with software. Tools are my default go-to team member, given how much they do for my business. Today I’m sharing the top five tools that power my business . . . plus a few bonus “utility” tools that are always running in the background (I couldn’t resist).
🌟 3 Key Takeaways:
- A useful software service is one that directly replaces routine work that you or a team member would otherwise have to do.
- Invest in brand strategy for your business first to bring cohesion to your message, and then to make delegating smaller project work in in Canva much easier.
- Establishing communication protocols with your team helps you prioritize your time. For example, a Slack message might require an urgent reply, but email does not.
📝 Permission: “Go pro” by paying for services that function as your first (or main) assistant.
✅ Do (or Delegate) This Next: Create a Zapier “zap” that alerts you via Slack or text message when a new customer buys your highest level product (or any other VIP action that you’d want to roll out the red carpet of responsiveness for).
