  • My Favorite Tools & Resources for Business

    When I first started my business, I was researching heavily to find out what tools were best to use. Needless to say, I spent a LOT of money only to find there were a lot of tools that didn't work for me. So, today I'm sharing my favorite tools and resources that I swear by.

    Use the links below to check out the tools for yourself! Some of them are affiliate links.

    • Try Honeybook - This is our fave tool for invoices, lead capture, offboarding, and contracts.
    • Notion - Our favorite tool for staying organized and project management! (Learn how we use it with our Stand Out with Notion Course.)
    • Get 50% off Flodesk - We use Flodesk for all things email marketing.
    • Get a month free on Thinkific - This is our fave tool for our courses.
    • Shopify Starter (replaced Shopify Lite) - This is the tool we use to sell products on our website.
    • Loom - This tool is great for screen recording.
    • Calendly
    • Canva - Great tool for making graphics fast.
    • Adobe XD - My favorite Adobe tool of all time; great for graphics of any sort.
    • Wave - This is the free alternative to Quickbooks that I use to manage income and expenses.
