Get the Right Tools For the Stage of Business You're In...
We’ve divvied up our tools to match the stage of business you’re in so that you have the right tool for the right stage.
That way you won’t spend needless time and money on something that isn’t the right fit for your business.
I’ve personally used each one of these tools and resources to grow my business and that of my client’s as well. I take time to find the best tools then I start by testing it out on my business before I even suggest it to my clients. So you can see that this list is carefully curated and vetted.
Many of the links are affiliate links, which means I may get a commission if and when you make a purchase. The good news is that none of the prices of these resources have been increased to pay me for suggesting them to you.

Dropbox
For sharing and storing files I don’t know about you but I struggled to find a good backup service for years – I would either forget to use the service (if it wasn’t automatic) or it would hang up my system each time it was doing a backup.
Enter Dropbox, which does a seamless “sync” of your files to their online servers – not only is it a backup, it also becomes a way to access your files from anywhere you like. You can also share folders with other people on your team (vs. always trying to send stuff via email). Love love love this tool, I would sing it from the mountain tops.

Audio Acrobat
There are lots of other ways you can record and host audios but I still have my audio acrobat account and use it anytime I want to privately host an audio.
Now you can also use Audio Acrobat to host videos and you can’t beat the quality. Plus you don’t have to worry about other people’s stuff being featured at the end of your video like You Tube does.
Another feature I love is that Audio Acrobat gives you great options for sharing your recordings – cool play buttons, download links etc… It’s an easy to use, offers customization which you won’t get with either Youtube or AmazonS3.

I used to dread recording and editing my video until I found ScreenFlow.

I use it to record the contents of my screen when I create courses and train people on my team. You can also use ScreenFlow to create video from your webcam. Best of all is the simple editing features – you can add graphics, overlays even music by dragging and dropping these elements where you want them to appear.
