Business Tools!

The longer I have been in business, the more I seem to have to juggle!  It can be overwhelming at times!  But the last few years I have worked so hard to get my workflow down to a science and it has been amazing!  But I don’t do it alone!!  I have some great tools that help me keep it all together.  Today I am sharing my top 3 favorite tools for my business!  You should get them too!

MILE IQ

Keeping up with mileage can be exhausting! In the beginning I was told to keep a notebook and write down mileage for every business related trip.  But I always forgot.  Or I would have several places to go and keeping up with what was business and what was personal was exhausting.  I was losing money on my taxes for sure.  Until I found Mile IQ!  It automatically saves my drives and lets me classify them instantly!  It keeps up with all kinds of things for you!  I love it!  I can log in once a week and classify my drives and printing off the tax report at the end of the year is easy as can be!  It even prompts you on January 1st to get a a odometer read!  Give it a try!!

ALIGN ALBUM DESIGN

I love putting albums in my client’s hands!  It is the best!  But doing all those designs and fixes was daunting for me!  So I outsoured it and I LOVE align!  Now I have my client’s designs done in a day or so and the process to communicate with my client and Align is so easy!  The stress this one outsource saved me is priceless!!

Give it a try!

 

 

 

 

Agree Contracts

I started using Agree when it first launched and I have loved it.  Having all my contracts and payments in one place is a win-win!  The digital payments feature is amazing.  No more printing contracts,  or having to ask for payments.  It does it all for you!  Try it!

 

There you have it…3 things I can’t live without!  Maybe you are struggling with that part of your business…if so, give them a try! 🙂

    The mileage one can you turn it off when you’re not driving for work. I NEED that type of app!
