Tools Needed to Run My Business ~ 2025 Edition

Is January the month for you when ALL YOUR BUSINESS SUBSCRIPTIONS RENEW?!

Like cool! I’m making $2,000 this month! JK… 75% of that is going to running my business… but alas. It is necessary. So in case you like to snoop on other business owners, here’s what I’m spending my hard-earned dolla bills on this year…

Make sure your website is LEGAL

If you’ve worked with me in any capacity, you know I recommend The Legal Paige’s Privacy Policy for your website. AND GOODDD NEWWWSS (Wicked anyone?) she is having a Backend Business 20% off Sale through FRIDAY (Jan. 24).

AND if you use my code REBEKAHR10 you get an ADDITIONAL 10% off!

CLIENT WORKFLOW + INVOICING

Dubsado

I use this CRM for 1. scheduling appointments 2. sending contracts 3. invoices (aka all my bookkeeping) 4. creating workflows to streamline my client’s experience & have less work on my end. Literally couldn’t live without it.

GET 20% OFF FIRST YEAR (use code bekah)

COURSE HOSTING PLATFORM

ThriveCart

I tried creating a course ON my website and although it can be done, it is not worth the hassle + you can’t track progress or send emails. After much research I chose Podia as my initial course platform. Then I moved to ThriveCart (aka I have experience, and trust me TC is worth it for the ONE time payment).

I’ve got messy hair and a thirsty heart.

I overshare my life, and have an ultra-expressive personality. Some words people use to describe me are: helpful, real, fun, creative, authentic, and kind.

Elphaba from Wicked is kind of my alter-ego (I was a fan LONG before the movie-adaptation, anyone else?!) as I am always trying to forge my own path and make a difference in the World, somehow, someway, while also constantly criticizing myself and trying to become the better version of me.

Quality conversations + coffee come easy to me.

I’ve never had an issue connecting naturally with others (probs because I can go on and on about my life story, not that it is interesting, I just process externally...)
