Resources i use & trust
When I first got started in business, I had no idea what tools to use and each time my business grows I look to business owners I trust for recommendations. So I’ve created a list of the tools I highly recommend for building a successful business.
Why would I recommend these tools? Because I use them in my business and I’ve tested each and every one. Thanks to these amazing resources I’ve been able to grow and build my business to where it is today.
business tools
Convertkit
Your email list is one of your biggest assets in business. As you dive into using Pinterest for your business, you'll realize that it can be a powerful tool to grow your email list. ConvertKit is the tool I use and trust. It's helped me easily share what I know with my audience.
Tailwind
Tailwind reigns supreme when it comes to Pinterest marketing automation. If you're tired of spending everyday on Pinterest (in order to be consistent in your pinning) then Tailwind is the go-to scheduler I recommend and use.
Thinkific
Thinkific is the platform I use to host my courses and workbooks. It's been a wonderful tool to help me grow my course programs, help students achieve success and easily showcase my lessons.
Canva
Pinterest pin design is key in helping attract your ideal clients. If you're just starting out with design or you're wanting simple-to-use templates then Canva is the go-to design platform for you.
Dropbox
We all need space to save our content and share our projects. When you run a video or image heavy business Dropbox comes in handy. Sharing files with team members or collaborators has become really easy with Dropbox.
Asana
Organization plays a huge role in running an efficient and effective business. Asana has helped me remain on task and manage project deadlines while also providing the tools needed to communicate with team members.
Bluchic Templates
I have bought MANY website templates and themes. Bluchic's themes and landing page templates have been the easiest to use by far. I love their beautiful design and easy to use instructions.
Plann
As a content creator, educator and Pinterest lover I've found Instagram a little harder to manage because I love SEEING my feed before it gets posted. Plann has helped me develop an easy to use Instagram plan based on strategy and visual aesthetics.
Reading resources
Profit First
Mike is a fantastic author that seems to inspire and motivate you even when talking about...accounting. Profit first has been tranformational in the way I manage my personal and business finances. If you're looking for an easy and effective way to make sure your business is PROFITABLE right in the beginning then this is the book you should read.
The compound effect
This was the second business book I read when I first started my online businesses and it's been a guiding light throughout my career. Darren talks about all the key concepts you need to understand to build a long term sustainable business. You can find strategies and tactics elsewhere, this is the big picture guide.
Clockwork
When you run your business it's easy to get pulled in 1000 different directions. When this happens we just tackle the tasks that seem most urgent right now. Clock Work is the book designed to help you run your business efficiently while focusing on the essential driving force in your business.
This is marketing
One thing I love about Seth's writting is that he gets to the point (no fluff) and says it how it is. It's a book one could re-read over and over again because there are so many valuable insights and gems in each chapter. He comes are marketing from an interesting point of view while still giving you actionable guidance.
Essentialism
The book cover explains what you'll learn in this book. It's been such an interesting and insightful read. At each point you're constantly accessing where you're at and acknowledging the truth behind how you run your day. We like to make excuses as humans and this book breaks down all those excuses and gives you actionable tools to become disciplined in the pursuit of LESS (but better).
The Power of habit
I love the concept of habits and the insights into habit formation. This book has opened my eyes to how our brains work and how to navigate the development of habits and routines to constantly become a better version of myself. It's truly a wonderful read if you're wanting to grow your business, improve your life and become the person you know you can be.
hardware
Blue Yeti USB Mic
Once you learn how to use the Blue Yeti, it's a very effective mic for recording audio. Whether it's online courses, podcast episodes, YouTube videos, Facebook Lives or any other video/audio content Blue Yeti is a wonderful mic to have.
YOU MIC
This easy to use Lapel can be connected to your phone or computer whenever you're recording audio or video content. I find it useful when recording Facebook Lives or when I'm on the move and need to record a piece of content. It's a great way to improve your audio quality when you're moving around.
