If you’re like me, you’ve probably got some last minute wrap up to do for the holidays and then you can rest (for a minute or two). We are pretty lucky to live in a time when we have technology at our finger tips. I don’t know if you have a small business owner on your holiday list, but I thought I’d share some my favorite tools you may want to consider gifting — or treat yourself!
Roboform — This is my favorite password manager. With everything requiring a password these days, who has the brain capacity to remember even one password much less 100? With Roboform you don’t have to. It’s like having a brain extension. You can get it here.
Carbonite — We all talk about needing a back up to our computers (our business lifeline!), but do you do it? I’ve been really lucky not to have ever had a real problem, but I know plenty of small business owners who have lost a ton of time, effort, and customer data due to a computer problem. I don’t take chances with it. You shouldn’t either. You can get it here.
Skype – One of the best ways to save money in your business is to use Skype when you need to talk with others around the world. I also have a phone number with my service so I can get direct calls. Very inexpensive and beats the “regular” phone company by a long shot. You can get it here.
Netflix — Ha! Not really a business tool, but handy to have none the less. I love taking my Netflix with me when I travel. And what’s really cool is that no matter what tech tool I have (pc, phone, ipad), I can still watch a movie. Great for just taking a bit of a brain break. You can get it here.
Happy Holidays!
