Even more tools?
I mentioned my current tool box yesterday - some other tools that I am experienced with are , , , , , , and - either from past positions with other companies or client requests.

Tech tools are necessary to save time, reduce doubling up on work, and often reduce costs. Experience is critical and the right tool for the right client is essential.

Using the internet to broaden your skill set should be a weekly goal because tech tools are developing at such a rapid pace that one is being replaced by the next best tech tool almost monthly it seems.

What tech tools do you consider to be extinct?

Who are my ideal clients?

💙 You are small to medium size business, either in the early stages or about a year or two into your growth and find that too much of your time is spent on the back end of the business.

💙 You have been in business for a few years now and you are finding that you are not doing the "thing" that you started your business for as much as you want to any more.

💙 You are not comfortable hiring part-time or full-time staff yet.

💙 You know that you want to find a faster, cleaner, time-saving way to do "task X" - and you are pretty sure that a consultant will be able to teach you how to do this task.

💙 You don't want to do "task X" any more! It's laborious, you hate it, it's not the reason why you started your own business.

💙 You need a remote virtual assistant - someone who can work 5 -10 hours a week, pay their own taxes and be responsible for their own employment filing.

💙 You are looking for someone who is conscientious, reliable, trustworthy AND someone who is passionate about supporting the small business owner because they know that your success is a win/win situation.

I'm a high-energy, excited to connect the dots, business minded, problem solver. Curious? Ask me anything!

One week in and 2022 is all smiles for me - I hope the same for your week! Among many things happening, I enjoyed adding the "Click Here To Pay" button to my invoice. This simple add will alleviate hours of chasing payments and make your accountant very happy! (Sidenote - the link doesn't work in PNG format which is the format for FB😉) Let me know if I can help your invoicing be more effective!
