2020 has been completely upside down and went at the speed of light because here we are a day before Thanksgiving. No matter what has happened this year (or what hasn’t) we need to continue looking forward.
This year has taught business owners how important it is to have the right tools in place for running your business, automating tasks that can move without you and passive income is no longer a want.
So before you are bombarded by the millions of ads that you will no doubt be receiving this weekend, I wanted to curate a list of the ones you may really need for your business to grow and scale in the coming years.
You can find them below broken up into these 5 different categories:

In the 8 years of me doing website development, I have never come across a WP theme so user friendly and expandable. I recommend this theme all the time because of the ease of use and crazy customization options that don’t require a developer to complete.
Astra theme has 2 options – annually & lifetime plans both extremely affordable
The world’s leading website builder for WordPress is running a sale on their Pro accounts, if you are using the free version then now is the time to upgrade.
If you sell products then you know how important ads and images are, Glory App is a tool built specifically for eCommerce product marketing and imagery. With features such as background remover, product templates for all social media platforms, and premium photos included its no need to have multiple tools.
Sick of DIYing blog graphics, formatting workbooks and constantly starting new design projects from scratch?
Good news: My fave designer – Alysha from Basil & Bark – is having a 40% off sale on customizable design templates right now. We’re talking lead magnets, slide decks and social media graphic for less than $25 each. 👀
But that’s not even the best part…
****She also has a Lifetime Membership (yep, I said LIFETIME) which gets you:
🖥 Instant access to 850+ unique designs in Canva, Adobe and Affinity format 🙌 Free, early access to all future templates that get added to the collection ✅ Lifetime updates to every product (even when they increase in value!) 🦄 Plus $200 worth of bonuses – think workflows, mini trainings and stock photos
I joined the Lifetime Membership a year ago, and I can honestly say it’s one of the BEST investments I’ve made for my business.
The total value of everything that’s currently inside of the Lifetime Membership is now $900 (and counting!), but for just a few days, you can save 75% – before the price goes up for good.
