Run Your Business From Anywhere!
Entrepreneurs and small businesses have recently been looking for mobile solutions that allow them to build a business designed to be fully portable. Whether you’re a globetrotter who wants to take advantage of the global economy to earn more or just want to travel the world while also building your business, the added mobility available via today’s technology can be a real benefit.
Mobile devices allow you to run your business from anywhere with your phone or tablet. They make you more responsive to customers and potential leads and allow you to fit work into the rest of your schedule, enabling you to enjoy your time more fully.
Choose the Right Tools
There are many resources and apps business owners and entrepreneurs can use on their mobile device to run a business on the go, such as:
- Gmail: Gmail is the cornerstone of many businesses. The email software allows you to communicate with remote teams, coworkers, or customers. It allows you to send attachments like reports, invoices, contracts, newsletters, advertisements, and more.
- Google Drive: Google Drive allows you to share files with team members and clients. Google Docs is also good for editing and building on existing project material, allowing multiple staff members to work on one document, regardless of their location.
- Evernote: Evernote allows you to keep copious quantities of data in one place. Take photos and notes or capture webpages and keep them in Evernote so they’re accessible from any mobile device. Evernote is fully searchable, so you can always find what you want. You can even label and organize notes for easy retrieval.
- QuickBooks: QuickBooks is an accounting and bookkeeping software that allows you to easily track sales, expenses, overhead, profits, and more. You can get up-to-the-minute information about your financials, as well as generate reports and updates about your business finances.
