Business Tools to Make Life Easier
One thing that is critical to business building is tools. There are a lot of tools I use in my VA business, and some I simply couldn’t do business without. I thought I would share some of them with you.
In every business there are things that must be done, appointments to be kept, schedules to maintain… enter www.37signals.com and their Backpack system.
Backpack is a great place to store your To Do list, your calendar, set up reminders that can be sent to your email or mobile phone, upload photos, idea lists… and best of all, it’s free. (The Free version is free… you can always upgrade if you simply must spend money! 
)
So there you have it – an incredible tool to help you get organized. I’d love to hear some of your favorite tools that make running your business easier!
If you’re looking for something that’s more powerful, has the features found in Backpack, Basecamp, Central Desktop, WebOffice and many more similar products you should take a look at Tangentworks 550 (www.tangentworks.com). Unlike these other products your personal space can be part of a much larger community of users allowing you to share information for those that you invite to your projects. Also, if you’re just wanting to use it for yourself it’s FREE and has the calendar, to-dos, photos that you mention plus the ability to create any type of custom list that you can think of. There’s no charge for the first workspace and from there it’s very affordable. Also, you never pay to have to pay for users. Check it out!
