The first week of every month, I drop three related episodes for a little “mini series” deep dive on one topic. This month we’re talking about the real, unglamorous side of work — the audits, the tools, the time blocks that keep our businesses running. Grab your coffee and binge away. ☕️
In this episode, I’m breaking down every tool I use to run my web design business—no expensive subscriptions, no “million-dollar must-haves,” just the practical stuff that actually keeps me organized and sane.
If you’re tired of confusing recommendations from celebrity entrepreneurs and just want to know what a real, ordinary-but-thriving business owner uses to get through the week (and keep the lights on), this one’s for you.
I’m chatting about how I keep things lean—why I ditched monthly fees for lifetime access deals, ways I use trusty platforms without going overboard, and how I separate “nice-to-have” from “must-have” in my own business. If you’re juggling the usual chaos of emails, clients, marketing, and all the behind-the-scenes admin—with a limited budget and zero patience for unnecessary tech headaches—I’ve got practical tips and honest confessions coming your way.
