Business on The Broke

To give full disclosure I am totally in love with 17Hats! When I first starting running my business on the broke, this was one of the first tools that I purchased (like within the first month)! I don’t want to give a biased opinion but I am going to share all the reasons why I love 17Hats. This is not a comparison with Dubsado or any of the others because I haven’t used them. I landed on 17Hats and I just haven’t felt inclined to try anything else.

If you have never heard of 17Hats, let me just tell you why you are going to fall in love with this platform. We’ve all heard the phrase “I wear many hats” and when you run your own small business that is exactly what you have to do. So a very appropriate name indeed! With this one tool you can create and send contracts, invoices, manage client data, create workflows, schedule projects, and so many more tasks. Forget about cobbling together a hand full of tools to manage all.the.things. With 17Hats your business is covered from lead generation through contracts and payment, all the way to project completion.

First, you really will have to stop marketing like a monkey. You need to make the most out of your email marketing efforts. No more monkey see monkey do.

When I first started out as an entrepreneur offering my services virtually, there were so many tools that I felt like I needed. I needed a tool for designing, scheduling, and something to handle my clients. There were a ton of posts in all the Facebook groups. Each one talked about a different tool and all the things it could do for you. I would read about all the different tools that my colleagues were using and I would think oh I need that, but I can’t afford it right now. When my business grows, that’s when I’ll sign up.
