The Go-Giver

The Infinite Game

Building a Storybrand

This book is told as a fable and is enjoyable to read. It is a wonderful reminder of how giving, in both business and life, can lead to unexpected results. This is a book that I find a new takeaway from every time I read it.

Anytime I feel frustrated with short term challenges, I remind myself that my business is an infinite game. This book completely changed my mindset for how I make decisions in my business. 

This book completely shifted the way I market my brand. It focuses on making your customer feel like the hero. Using the storytelling method, you can form deeper connections with your customers/clients.

Favorite Business Tools

Click UP

ClickUp's slogan "One app to replace them all" is so accurate! It has completely transformed how I manage my business (and also my personal life). This tool is a task management system and so much more! All of my work is operated through ClickUp. It helps me to focus on the right work at the right time.

Relay

Relay is a bank, but I also view it as a tool. It supports Profit First accounting methodology. You can have up to 20 checking accounts and set-up percentage based transfers. Plus, the support staff is wonderful.

Dubsado

Dubsado is a client management system. I love how customizable it is. Because it can be used with any industry, it's simple to modify if your business pivots as mine has. The founders are amazing and truly care about their customers. There are so many ways to modify workflows.

Minoan

Bookkeeping is not the most glamorous part of running a business, but Quickbooks definitely makes it better.

I've tried a couple of different photo gallery delivery platforms and Pixieset is my favorite.

I am not a graphic designer, but with Canva I can be! In addition to using it for business, I make our Chistmas cards and birthday party invitations with Canva.

If you are furnishing a short term rental, check out Minoan for steep discounts and purchase everything in one place. Their team is wonderful!
