Entrepreneurial life is the best, but you know what's even better?! Entrepreneur apps that make life running a herbal business - that much easier!
I am a solopreneur and at times, things can be really overwhelming, but there is an app for everything... so how do you even choose!
5 Must-Have Herbal Entrepreneur Apps
ONE: Notion
Notion has been my EVERYTHING app. It is so helpful in keeping all of my herbs organized and in one place. I created a Digital Materia Medica using Notion and I can easily access this app while chatting with my clients if I left any written notes at home. Check out the Materia Medica here for yourself - life changing.
TWO: Organize Your Time and Team with Asana
Though I am a solopreneur, remembering everything that I need to do in a day - or even the whole month can be a little overwhelming. Sometime I also has an additional employee and Asana has come to the rescue as my little virtual angel. I am honestly a huge fan of physically writing things down, but unfortunately, my journal can't alert me - so when launching is in the air, Asana has my vote.
Apps Should Make Life Easier, Not Overwhelming
THREE: Continue Learning with Apple Podcasts
I don't know about you guys, but continued entrepreneurial education is kind of my thing. Hello, Apple Podcasts! There is something about always learning that just excites me, enneagram 5 is not wrong! The fact that I can wash the dishes and learn about virtually anything in less than 10 minutes is so rewarding.
FOUR: Protect Your Mental Health with Headspace
Running a business (even a herbal/wellness one), is hard. Burnout is a big deal and mental health should rank extremely high on your list of things to do. I like to break away with Headspace for some well needed mediation throughout the day. I also love that they have 1-on-1 mental health support.
FIVE: Be a Social Media Pro With The Help of Buffer
We can't leave this list hanging without a social media app! Buffer is the social media manager you needed to hire like yesterday! If you manage multiple social media accounts this is gold. One of the best things about buffer is their analytical data - you can view how all of your hard work is performing across different platforms all in one app. Buffer is also extremely affordable.
Okay, first things first - ORGANIZE.
-Go through your phone and delete any apps that you don't use anymore, or haven't used in a month. Chances are you aren't going to use them anytime soon.
-Keep the apps you use the most, upfront and the rest add to labeled folders like Social Media Apps, Invoices, Tax Apps, etc. If you don't like folders find a way to organize them so that they are grouped together in a way that makes sense.
-Add apps intentionally, get them when you are ready to implement them, and plan to use them effectively.
Well, there you have it. Apps can be a great addition to your newly growing business if you need a little help along the way. I try to be effective and intentional in my business and these little pocket wizards are my top 5 for convenience, productivity, and ease to run my herbal business.
