Based on the questions that I get most, this episode is a rapid fire listing of all the things I use to run my business, from website, to invoicing, to social media and even inventory.

I also offer up:

- my favorite analogy for understanding how all the tech pieces work together

- some food for thought on why you should consider implementing similar systems as your business grows

- a hint at some additional resources I have planned for you!

Hopefully this episode will help you fill in any gaps that might be in your balloon business! I also have a Cliff's Notes version of this episode available for download.

If you find this podcast helpful, I'd be honored if you considered becoming a Patreon.

And as always, thanks to our show sponsor, Balloon Coach, and the Balloon Boss Mastermind.
