THE TOOLS I USE TO RUN MY BUSINESS
So... you could say I'm a bit of a tech geek. And my software stack is probably a little bit broader than the average entrepreneur. Consider this my favour to you. I've tried and tested loads of different products on the market and have settled on my absolute favourites. To find out more about these tools, click on the screens below and you'll be taken directly to the vendor's website. Some of these links are affiliate links, which means I may receive a small monetary or non-monetary reward if you sign up. In saying this, I would never recommend a product that I didn't truly love.
In the interests of full transparency, my plan is to write a blog post about each of these tools, so that I can share my experience in detail and support you in your decision making process. As these blog posts become available, you'll be able to access them through a button below each screen. Please be patient with me as this is a huge undertaking!
If you have any questions about any of my recommendations OR you would like some further help in putting together your own customised software stack, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me, or book in for a free 15 minute consultation. I'd love to chat with you.
