Novo Bank
What I love about Novo is that it’s a bank built for small businesses. You can set up “reserves” which allow you to envelop budget (perfect for the “Profit First” method, or just splitting up your account into different buckets). It has no minimum fees and no monthly limits.
Read MoreLearnDash – WordPress Online Course Plugin
There are essentially two options for creating online courses. You can use a done-for-you private option like teachable or thinkific, or you can create your own platform.

They…

Read MoreSimplePractice – EHR/Practice Management for Therapists
I ❤ SimplePractice. The first thing I love about it is its interface. If I am going to spend every day using a program, I want to make sure it’s easy to use and doesn’t look like it was last designed in the early 1980’s. SimplePractice is designed in a way that makes sense and…
