Are you overwhelmed by all the business software options out there and not sure which tool really fits your needs? In this episode, I share why I don’t recommend business software the usual way—and what I do instead to help you pick the right tools that truly support your business and bring more ease into your life. If you ever wasted money or time on a tool that sounded perfect for others but just didn’t work for you, tune in as I guide you through my approach to choosing software with intention.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why your business strategy should come before picking any tools
  • How asking the right questions leads to better software choices
  • Simple ways to avoid shiny object syndrome and save your sanity
