58. Everything I use to run my business

Based on the questions that I get most, this episode is a rapid fire listing of all the things I use to run my business, from website, to invoicing, to social media and even inventory.   I also offer up: - my favorite analogy for understanding how all the tech pieces work together - some food for thought on why you should consider implementing similar systems as your business grows - a hint at some additional resources I have planned for you!   Hopefully this episode will help you fill in any gaps that might be in your balloon business! I also have a Cliff's Notes version of this episode available for download.   If you find this podcast helpful, I'd be honored if you considered becoming a Patreon. And as always, thanks to our show sponsor, Balloon Coach, and the Balloon Boss Mastermind.   Timestamps:  02:35 Google products (Google Workspace) 03:09 Website (Wix - learn how to publish your website in a weekend) 03:36 Contact form & my 17hats CRM (customer relationship management system) 04:30 Payment processing (Square) & bookkeeping (Quickbooks Online) 07:20 Social media 09:30 Inventory 11:27 Training 12:15 Inflaters 15:26 Graphics (Canva.com)   Related episodes: 12.
