My Top 5 Favorite Business Resources
As business owners, we are always looking for ways to make our lives easier and to streamline as much as possible. So finding the best resources and programs for your business that helps you do that is gold! So below I thought I would help you out a bit and give you a list of my top 7 favorite business resources. These are programs and apps I use EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. in my business and I think you will want to too!
1. Aisle Planner
Aisle Planner is my wedding planning dream program! I use it for every aspect of planning a wedding. Before I used Aisle Planner I used documents and spreadsheets that I created myself and shared with my clients through google docs. And it got the job done but was really a pain in the butt! Aisle Planner has helped me streamline everything I do relating to planning events and client interactions.
With easy to use tools to help you market your business, book new clients, manage your events and everything in between, Aisle Planner has something for every wedding pro.

2. Flodesk
I used Mailchimp for a very long time and did really love it. And honestly I still use Mailchimp for some things just because it is free and easy to use. However, when I made the leap to switch to flodesk (which was a hard decision to initially make) it completely changed my email marketing game! It blew my mind how quickly I grew my email list after I made the switch. I am a true flodesk believer now.
3. Asana
As a planner and business owner, check lists and to do lists are everything to me. If a task is not written on my to-do list then it doesn't get done. And that is why Asana is life for me. It is an amazing virtual to-do list. And it allows me to my team members to my lists and helps us all stay on the same page when completing projects. And the best part is that it is FREE!
4. Planoly
Planoly is my Pinterest and Instagram best friend. Social media is such a double edged sword for business owners. It does wonders for free marketing, but it can be a pain to keep up with. Planoly helps ease the stress of remembering to post on social media by doing it for me! And this program is also free for the basic version.
5. G-suites
Google is such a great resource to have. For only $5 a month I get a professional email account and unlimited storage through my google drive. It helps me keep everything in one place even when I am out of the office. It is such a huge asset to be able to access all my documents on my phone when I am traveling or out at meetings.
BONUS: Quickbooks
Quickbooks has been a lifesaver for me when it comes to all things accounting and taxes! It keeps track of all of my income and expenses, tracks my mileage, and takes the guess work out of what I need to pay for my taxes and where I am at for the year. And best of all, it is only $10 a month! Click the link here to receive 50% off when you sign up! —-> Link here
