Let’s be real: running a business on your own can feel like a LOT.
Emails, websites, content, clients, organizing all the things—how are you supposed to do it all without hiring a team or working 24/7?
✨ Good news: You don’t need a team.
You just need the right tools.
You just need the right tools.
In this post, I’m sharing exactly what I use to run my entire business by myself—tools that save me time, keep me organized, and make me look way more professional (without being super techy).
And yes—they’re beginner-friendly. Let’s dive in!
1. AttractWell – My All-In-One Business Hub
This is the #1 tool that holds my entire business together. AttractWell is like having 10 tools in one.
With it, I can:
- Host my website
- Manage email marketing
- Offer digital products
- Create client memberships
- Schedule and organize content
- Keep all my contacts in one place
- Track leads and sales
Instead of paying for 5+ different platforms and trying to glue them together, I use AttractWell to keep things simple and streamlined.
✅ Perfect for solopreneurs, coaches, course creators, and wellness businesses.
No tech team needed. No fancy software skills. Just click, type, and go.

2. Canva – My Design BFF
I’m not a professional designer… but thanks to Canva, I don’t need to be.
I use Canva to create:
- Social media graphics
- Freebies & lead magnets
- Ebooks
- Website graphics
- Branded templates
- Business cards and more!
You can start with free templates and just swap in your colors, fonts, and info. It’s drag-and-drop simple—and actually fun to use.
3. Loom – Easy Video Recordings
Sometimes, explaining something in a video is so much easier than typing it out.
I use Loom to:
- Send client walkthroughs
- Answer questions
- Share tutorials
- Create mini trainings
You can record your screen and your face at the same time, then share the video with a link. It’s a super personal, time-saving way to connect (without scheduling another call).
4. Google Drive, Sheets & Forms – My Business Brain
💾 Google Drive is where I keep ALL my business documents organized in folders—client notes, planning docs, contracts, and more.
📊 Google Sheets helps me track income, content plans, launch results, and performance (I love a good spreadsheet!).
📋 Google Forms makes it easy to create things like intake forms, client surveys, and opt-in forms for freebies.

Everything is free, cloud-based, and easy to share. Plus, it automatically saves your work (bless).
5. ChatGPT – My Behind-the-Scenes Assistant
💬 You’re here right now 😉 and that’s because ChatGPT is one of my most-used tools in business.
I use it to:
- Brainstorm content ideas
- Draft blog posts
- Write email and website copy
- Create outlines and captions
- Simplify techy stuff
- Save HOURS every week
It’s like having a virtual copywriter, idea generator, and thought partner in my back pocket.
Why These Tools Work Together So Well
What I love most about this setup?
It’s simple. It’s affordable. And I’m not juggling 10 different logins, platforms, and systems.

You Don’t Need Fancy Tools or a Big Budget
If you’ve been stressing over which tools to use or feeling like you need a huge team to run a “real” business—take a breath.
You just need:
- Tools that make your life easier
- A system you’ll actually stick with
- The courage to start messy and improve as you go
These are the tools that helped me build a business from scratch—and I still use them every day.
Want help setting up your tools, building your site, or getting your systems in order? I’m just a message away, and I’d love to help you make tech feel easy and fun.
