As we are all headed into 2023 thinking about how to best maximize efficiency, save time and automate our lives to reach our goals - wanted to share my list of favorite tools for any entrepreneur looking to scale their business!
One of the most important things about working smart is learning how to automate and delegate to increase your efficiency.
Choosing the right tools and apps can be critical to scaling your team and saving you time.
Here are my favorite go-to tools that I use to grow my companies, automate my processes, and save time:
- Asana- Project management tool and great for virtual team collaboration.
- Slack - Virtual Team Collaboration, discussion/departmental channels, option to add apps for Daily Stand-ups.
