Streamlined Solopreneur: Tips to Help Business Owners Grow Without Burnout

When is it Time to Switch Tools?


Listen Later

It seems like every day there’s a new tool designed to help us be more productive. They promise to help us to more, faster, better, with fewer resources. And it’s easy to get shiny object syndrome. So how do you know when it’s time to switch, or when it’s a waste of time and energy?


Luckily, as a chronic tool switcher, I’ve thought a lot about this very problem. And I have a framework to help you decide.


We’ll go through the 4 questions you should ask yourself when evaluating whether or not to switch. Then we’ll apply these tests to case studies so you can see how they work with actual examples.


Wondering if you should switch? Go to https://shouldyouswitch.com to apply this framework!
