TOOLS THAT WE USE
I often get asked about the tools that I use. Here’s some of the partnerships that we have that we could use and recommend. These aren’t all the tools I use but if you do ever need a connection to local business owners (many are in the CBNation.co Business Directory), I network a ton and can always connect you. Just let me know! use these below but if you wanted to see even more tools, check out the CEO Hacks here that can help you be more effective and efficient. Also check out the episodes of the I AM CEO Podcast where each guest shares their own CEO Hack.
- GSuite – Professional e-mail powered by Gmail for your business or organization.
- Evernote – Where I keep all my notes. I’ve gone completely digital.
- Stock Photography – Are you using stock photography or want to know where to get them? This is a site.
- Freshbooks – We use for our invoicing and time tracking.
- WPEngine – WordPress Hosting. We use our own hosting at Blue16host.com but this is a WordPress only solution.
- Acuity – Tool that I use for scheduling. Switched from Vcita. Check it out here www.progreshion.com/introcall.

- Constant Contact & MailChimp – Email Marketing to build your list and attract clients and customers. I usually say Constant Contact costs more initially but they have a ton of support while MailChimp is more DIY. We use both and there are strengths and weaknesses of each.
- Canva – Photoshop without the complexity. Make your own flyers, social media graphics and more. Great tool for designers and non-designers.
