friday's Favorite business Resources:

hello homie! here are some of my favorite tools, programs, and services that i use to run my business. some of the links may be affiliate links (they are marked with a *). if you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase within a certain time frame, i may receive a small commission or discounted rate for referring you. it doesn’t cost you any more than usual and I'm super intentional about linking products and services that I actively use and genuinely recommend. thank you for supporting my small business with big dreams!

    • Fancy camera and lens for making professional looking videos

  • Productivity/Organization -- hands down, this was the most impactful "course" I've ever taken. Louise Henry's 'Uplevel with Asana' course (limited time $100 off w/ my affiliate link) helped get my entire business (and daily to-do's) on track so I could grow up + past multiple 6-figures in my business. It also allowed me to easily onboard a team, when the time came. HIGHLY recommend. (If anything, the cost of Louise's course is worth the price alone JUST for the Asana templates she gives you.)
