When you’re starting an online business, it’s easy to get caught up in expensive tools and subscriptions you don’t actually need. But with the right setup, you can run a professional, fully functional business for as little as $80 a year—or up to $150 if you want more features.

In this episode, I break down:

- The lean app stack I recommend for email, scheduling, contracts, payments, and a simple website.

- How I keep costs low without sacrificing functionality.

If you’ve been trying to figure out what tools to use—or how to stop overpaying for software you don’t need—this episode will help.
