The tools I've used for building multiple multi-million dollar businesses.
Why having the right tools is so important for starting and scaling a business?
When I started my first company in high school, I had no clue what I was doing.
I was using the wrong tools, taking the long way round, and making my life much harder than it needed to be.
Even worse, I was so embarrassed about how lost I was that I never asked for advice.
And then I finally got savvy. In college, I met some founders that were much further along than I was in their startup journey.
Spending time with them, I was able to see that they were using much better tools than I was and as a result, scaling much faster.
I felt like I had just discovered magic in bottle. Some of these tools were incredible!
Over the years, I've learned new tools, changed tools, and continue to explore what is out there.
One thing is for sure - I would not have found success as quickly as I did with any of my ventures had it not been for some of startup tools I was working with.
Below, are the most common tools I've used for every company I started.
I've organized the tools into three categories:
Foundation Tools - Tools for setting up and structuring your business.
Management Tools - Tools for managing people and clients.
Growth Tools - Tools for growing your business faster.
