So yeah, it’s been a while. Life got crazy there for a second (or year) and Friday Favorites was one of the “somethings” that had to give.

But it’s BACK and I am thrilled to share some of the tools for business that have saved me this year.

From client relations to graphic design resources, these 4 tools have been the holy grail of business ownership!

1. Honeybook – my amazing CRM tool helps me organize all my client’s projects, allows me to accept online payments, sign contracts electronically, and connects to QuickBooks to make taxes a breeze!  I love when I get to share my love her certain tools/products because it also allows me that chance to give you a great deal! Use this link to get 50% OFF your first year of Honeybook!
2. Canva – I know that Canva-users get a lot of hate but I truly couldn’t do life without it! I love being able to do all my graphic design in-house in a fun and easy way. Recently, I have been using it to design these Wedding Day Timelines for couples to save out their lock screen on their big day! 
   
3. FloDesk – Last year I began offering special access to dance portrait appointments when you would subscribe to the “A-List”. It was amazing and I was so excited to grow my email list. Since adding new services to my business, my email list is becoming even more important. With that, I knew that I would need a heftier email management system. Enter FloDesk. This tool is seriously crazy simple to use and gets me excited to design and send emails to my subscribers. Need to beef up your email marketing? Sign up HERE for 50% OFF.
4. A Mentor – It wouldn’t be a blog post about tools/resources that have saved me without shouting out my all-time favorite educator. I can honestly say that Katelyn and her team were MONUMENTAL in pushing my business forward when I first started and to this day I still learn so much from her. While I have only had the chance to meet her once (pictured here), her influence in business as well as in life plus her education is priceless.
