business tools
my favorite
You've just started your own business and you're trying to do everything yourself. You know you need some tools to help you, but you don't know which ones or where to start.
Not only is it hard to figure out what business tools to use, but it's also expensive and time consuming. It can take weeks or even months of research to find the right tools for your business, and then you have to invest in them and learn how to use them.
By taking a peak at my Tech Stack will save you all of that time and money. I've already done the research for you and compiled a list of the best tools for small businesses like yours!
