Listening to other change-makers talk about their successes– and failures! — can be just the ticket when you’re feeling alone while making new moves. Some stories may even help you figure out how to tackle a problem in a way you may not have thought of before.

We mentioned how guesting on podcasts can be a great way to connect with others in your field and position yourself as a thought leader. These articles will help you pitch yourself to podcast producers:

Other resources

As a lean startup, we are big fans of free and low-cost tools.

No graphic design skills? Canva is a wonderful platform for creating flyers, brochures, and social media posts — even animation!  

We’ve worked with Wordpress for years, and we’re lucky to have a co-founder who is a wiz at managing the many plug-ins we use. They have hosted as well as enterprise solutions. 

If the thought of keeping templates and plug-ins up to date is too daunting, an even lower-touch solution is Squarespace, which makes it truly easy to set up a stunning website specifically designed to support your business — whether that’s a consultancy, an e-commerce site, or a restaurant. 

We use Sumo to capture our newsletter signups and the Newsletter plug-in to create and send our weekly newsletter. 

We talked a bit about mindfulness and meditation as a way to stay grounded and focused. Headspace and Calm are apps that newcomers to meditation may find useful. 

We also emphasized the importance of self care, and that staying fit and healthy can help make you a better founder. Carole has found the features of her Fitbit hugely helpful in this regard — the hourly reminders to get up and move, the daily and weekly step counts, and especially the achievement badges!
