Summary

I'm always looking for ways to work smarter and more efficiently, and to that end I took a recent inventory of my online business "toolkit." Of course many of these will be obvious to you, but hopefully you discover some helpful new resources as well. The good news? Many of these are free or at least have a free version! And if you're looking for the definitive guide to online resources named by top entrepreneurs, check out the full collection in my book, Work Smarter. One important note is I didn't start here. I've cobbled together this toolbox over the last 10+ years, and added expenses only as the revenue justified it. Start scrappy, start lean, and then invest where it makes sense! There are also a ton of great suggestions in the comments below! Full Show Notes: 50+ Tools and Apps to Work Smarter and Get More Out Of Your Side Hustle New to the Show?

hour, I thought it would be more fun to have a co-host for this discussion who's going to bring
