PLANTING THE SEEDS OF SUCCESS
The items listed below are a mixture of the tools I use in my day-to-day business and important reference websites or books I recommend that you read.
Where possible, I have included the links to the Automation Tools that I use. Click these links to purchase the tools for yourself. It is so important to learn to leverage their power in order to free up more time for your Money Making Activities (MMAs) as you should be spending 90% of your time working on those.
I have also included links to some online courses and reference sites that I value very highly. Click on the links where available.
Also be sure to “Bookmark” this page as I will be adding more of my favourite tools to it regularly. So don’t forget to check back here from time to time!
