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).
