Business Resources, Recommended Resources for Business Professionals (with image of a stack of books)

Here are some of my favorite business resources ~ and a few fun ones. I have personally used these tools or have colleagues that highly recommend them.

All of them have either free or low-cost plans, and a few offer a free trial period so you can see if they are a good fit for you before you purchase.

Asana – As a self-appointed Organization Superhero, Asana is my go-to project management tool! I love the way it keeps all of my tasks and projects organized and on track.

The perfect all-in-one platform to manage people, projects, and more.

Canva – Have you seen those beautiful, inspirational images online, and wish you could afford your own graphic designer to make them for your website and social media channels? Well, Canva makes it easy to do it yourself. It is simple to use; there are tons of templates in the design studio and great tutorials to get you started. Canva has a free basic plan as well as a very reasonably priced pro plan.

Grammarly – I have to confess; I cannot spell worth a darn! Before spell check, I had no less than four very well used dictionaries at my desk. Grammarly was a game-changer for me. Not only does it catch spelling errors across all programs you use (not just Word), but it also helps correct your grammar. They have a free basic plan, but their premium plan is less than $12 per month and well worth it.
