All my favorite things

IN LIFE & BUSINESS

People often ask which courses I’ve taken, which tools & software I use, and which microphone or camera I use to record course lessons or blog posts. I firmly believe in sharing details like that, so now instead of asking me you can check it all out for yourself!

Silicone Cooking Utensil Set*

⭐️ What We Think

Not just “pretty” they’re also SUPER easy to clean food because food just doesn’t stick to these guys. Got mine in Khaki/Rose Gold, because I was tired of the traditional black or grey. One less thing to scrub clean after dinner is always a good thing!

Profit First, by Mike Michalowicz*

⭐️ What We Think

The most interesting, relatable, and funny finance book you’ll ever read. Since learning about Mike’s system, I’ve actually learned how to pay myself and set money aside for various purposes in my business. Oh, and tax season is NEVER as nerve-wracking as it used to be! Easy to implement & Mike keeps ya entertained while he lays it all out on the table, from the how-tos to his own mistakes & failures.

Timer + cute/cool desk clock*

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

A great (cheap) little clock to stick on your desk that can also be a Pomodoro timer or work like one, if you’re into that.

One thing I’ve learned is that we tend to take the full allotment of time that we give ourselves to complete a given task, and if ya give yourself all damn day, it’s gonna take all damn day. 😂 So if you want something that’s quick/easy to set, that’ll beep at ya when the time’s up, and you can see it counting down, this is a great little attractive gadget to put on your desk.

Comes in about 5 different colors & several different shapes too!

my Flexispot Large Standing Desk* + memory presets

⭐️ What We Think

This desk is fantastic! It has a motor that raises and lowers the desktop/tabletop and even has 4 presets that you can set and customize for multiple users or different heights. The motor is pretty quiet, the tabletop is smooth with no cracks or gaps as it comes in one solid piece, and assembly was easy.

I absolutely LOVE my desk! I did a fair bit of research before buying and got almost everything on my wishlist, except drawer storage, but that’s not the end of the world, and still spent less than $300 USD!

my Urevo 3-in-1, Under-Desk Treadmill*

⭐️ What We Think

I did A LOT of research on what to buy and could not be happier with this one!! Easy to assemble, I saved a ton on the price, and it works so much better than I expected. I can easily walk 1-2mph while doing precise/focused work, or up to 2.8mph while doing basic tasks, watching videos, etc. no problem! I love getting more movement throughout my workday and feel a lot more energy after just 1 week of doing this 1x a day.

Conversion Cards, from James Wedmore

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

It’s a literal, physical deck of 54 cards, each with a language pattern or conversion copy formula with a description and examples for how to put it into practice on your sales copy.

As if that wasn’t cool enough, you also get a digital deck with your purchase, –because James always over-delivers. LOL

This is a really badass tool to have in your toolbox, especially if you’re new to writing copy for your business. 😁

Cheapest/best ways to get an easy HD webcam*

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

Need a legit crystal clear HD webcam but don’t want to spend a fortune –and you already have an iPhone?

There are TWO really great options & one is FREE! No joke.

This software installs on your iPhone AND your computer allowing you to use your phone’s camera wirelessly or wired as a high-resolution webcam in all the main software you’re already using, including Zoom, Google Meet, Whereby, Descript, Facebook & YouTube streaming, etc. It’s actually WAY better quality than my C920X external webcam –and at least as good as my 2021 M1 Macbook Pro built-in FaceTime camera!

Descript*: best video editing software

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

What if you could edit your video content the same way you edit your blog posts? 🤯 With Descript, you can LITERALLY do that!! And now with their new Storyboard features, it’s even easier and you also get a ton of new features with access to “B-Roll” (stock photos & videos, sound effects) & more!!

If you’re a content creator, you CANNOT skip over this seriously badass tool. Film your content, create & edit your transcript, export for YouTube, social media, blog posts, etc & finally create professional video content …without the pro. 😉

ThriveCart*: checkout software, courses & more

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

ThriveCart does a LOT of things WITHOUT the monthly subscription. For a one-time payment, you get checkout software for digital and physical products, upsell and funnel management, course hosting & management, and a way to build & manage your own affiliate program! Other tools like Kajabi charge more in one year than ThriveCart will cost for a lifetime of use!

How to ClickUp*, by Layla Pomper

⭐️ What We Think 

How to ClickUp is an action-oriented Mini Course designed to help complete beginners manage daily productivity inside ClickUp...in less than one day!*

I’ve tried 8 or 10 project management apps since starting freelance work back in 2015 and to be perfectly honest they all have their individual pros & cons. Now, I needed high-level reporting and customizability that other apps like Asana and Notion weren’t able to give me, …so I landed on ClickUp (again). Because this project management tool has SO much packed into one app, it’s not that intuitive to learn. I binged a ton of ClickUp-focused YouTube videos, and then I found Layla, –a vetted ClickUp Consultant from ProcessDriven. I binged most of their YouTube channel & quickly decided I wanted to learn more from her, specifically. If she couldn’t do it FOR me, then I wanted to learn her methodologies –which is exactly what you get inside How to ClickUp! I’ve now built out detailed systems for my business inside ClickUp & I finally feel comfortable on the platform. So thankful for Layla & her relatable nerdiness! 😁

Sidenote, you also get access to this mini-course WITH the separate ProcessDriven Membership & they work really well together!

The Middle Finger Project*

⭐️ What We Think

Stuck on copywriting for your business along with some legit laugh-out-loud, real-AF inspiration? Ash provides inspiration, motivation, and personality in spades. I literally couldn’t put this one down, …and may/may not (definitely do) have multiple copies of this book. 😂

ClickUp*: my project management app

⭐️ WHAT WE THINK

I desperately needed to be able to see the overall progress of anything easily and ClickUp handles this WAY better. I can see progress bars or completed task counts for any list, folder, space, or set of tasks, even if they’re not in the same grouping, which makes it much easier (& more accurate) to monitor client progress in their homework without missing important details or questions they have along the way.

I can also keep so much more ClickUp now, including better support ticketing with a ClickUp form embedded on my website for clients to fill out, and of course, my own business task management where automations & recurring tasks play a very important role.

Notifications are also much easier to control as there are a LOT more options to customize so I see what I want and not what I don’t.
