My Favorite Business Tools

In partnership with

When it comes to running a business, there is no shortage of tools promising to save you time, automate your work, or help you make more money. But let’s be honest, most of them sit unused after a week, or they end up complicating your workflow more than helping it.

That is why I wanted to share a list of my favorite business tools, ones that have consistently helped me save time, stay organized, and grow my business without overwhelming me. These are not just nice-to-haves; they have become essentials in my daily operations.

Why the Right Tools Matter

Running a business, especially as a solopreneur or small team, requires systems that do not rely on you doing everything manually. Good tools allow you to:

• Automate repetitive tasks

• Streamline communication

• Manage clients and leads more efficiently

• Stay focused and productive

• Scale your efforts without hiring more people

Here Are the Tools I Use and Recommend:

Notion – My “all-in-one” workspace

• I use Notion to organize projects, plan content, track goals, and even outline course material.

• It keeps everything in one place and replaces 3–4 other apps I used to juggle.

ConvertKit – Email marketing without the headache

• Easy to set up email sequences, segment my list, and run automations.

• Perfect for creators, coaches, and small businesses that need a simple but powerful email system.

Calendly – Automated scheduling made easy

• Clients and prospects can book time without the back-and-forth emails.

• Integrates with Zoom and Google Calendar to avoid double bookings.

Canva – Simple design without a designer

• I use it for social media graphics, flyers, presentations, and even digital products.

• The brand kit keeps everything visually consistent.

Wave Accounting – Free and easy financial tracking

• Ideal for managing invoices, payments, and basic bookkeeping.

• Helps me stay on top of cash flow without needing a full accountant.

Google Analytics + Search Console – Tracking what matters

• These tools help me see what content drives traffic, how people find me, and what is working.

• It is data that guides smart decisions, not guesses.

You do not need every tool; you just need the right tools that work for the way you run your business. These platforms did not just save me time; they gave me the mental clarity to focus on growth, instead of getting lost in daily chaos.

Start with one or two from this list that solve a real problem you are facing right now. The goal is not to build a tech stack. The goal is to build a business that runs smoother, smarter, and stronger.
