The 9 pieces of software I couldn't run my business without

from The Start Up To Grown Up Podcast · host Heather Townsend

Has your software bill crept up? Are you tempted by the Black Friday offers? In this episode I discuss what the 8 pieces of software that I couldn't run my business without.In fact, there is some new entrants to the list that I've only added in the last 24 hours. That's how good a new piece of software is!For full transparency, some of the links in the show notes are affliate links. That means sometimes you get a great deal, particularly as it’s Black Friday week (when recorded). Sometimes I get some commission. But I am only recommending software that I’m using and that I love. What you'll learn in the podcast episode:- What software I have ditched (that includes ChatGPT!)- Why I love Riverside.fm because it has helped me replace three other pieces of software. - Why I tend to pay by month, not by year for my software unless they are absolutely key to the business- My 8 software recommendations for your business.
