We often follow others blindly when it comes to choosing our apps and services. But you should be very cautious of riding the wrong wave when you’re picking the tools for you and your business.
Yesterday I was doing some outreach on LinkedIn and needed to take notes on who I had contacted. Now I know there are LinkedIn browser plugins for automatic connection etc. via LinkedIn, but I’ve always felt that was impersonal.
Also, I didn’t want to use a full-blown CRM for such a simple task. So I fired up Notion and build a mini CRM for my social media outreach. As I always say, it’s best not to cross-pollinate your tools and have an app to do one specific task, so you’re not overwhelmed.
It seems to be working quite well. If anything changed, you’d be the first to know.

Don’t get caught out with the allure of check tools. You’ll regret it in the end and will be kicking yourself for not choosing the right tools that’ll last and be beneficial to your business.

Sharing what we plan to do can be more detrimental to our plan than we realise. We often don’t get to do everything we plan out, especially in a new year, so showing and doing what we want, and failing, is better than dreaming of what we wish to do.

Remote Work isn’t a fad, it’s one area of your business that you need to start paying attention to. The talent you’re employing could be of much better calibre if you start casting your net wider.
However, if your Tech & IT isn’t up-to-date or you don’t have the right framework for remote work, then now is the time to start thinking about it.

The amount of bullshit on the internet never amazes me anymore, but reading bios stating, “I’ve made $10M for my clients”, is fucking getting out of hand!

Inbox zero is great, but if you’re only doing it for aesthetics, you do not understand the whole issue. My mistake has been not explaining what it means when I post screenshots of my email window on Twitter.
