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…
PRIVACY POLICY + TERMS & CONDITIONS
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.

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.

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).

Hey, I'm Bekah! Web designer, Squarespace Circle Gold Partner, marathon runner, and mama of two. I built Rebekah Read Creative in 2018 after leaving corporate America, and I've spent the years since helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs stop cringing at their websites and start getting found on Google.
I'm the kind of person who overshares, processes out loud, and goes all in on whatever has my heart, whether that's running a 50k or building someone's website in a single day. Quality coffee and real conversations are basically my love language.
If you're here, you're probably tired of the Instagram hustle and ready for a website that actually works for you. You're in the right place.
