These are some of the more common tools and resources that I use, or consult clients on, or have researched, and recommend – specifically for people who aren’t yet setup in any way. They are not ALL needed. For people who have existing components in place my recommendations may differ based on their needs. To get specific recommendations based on your needs and requirements please consider booking some Coaching or Strategic Planning sessions.
