Business tips with the Beehive Girl
By Anelie Petrus /
With the current high unemployment rate in Namibia, I am so proud to see more young people coming up with great business ideas and creating side hustles for themselves and for those who are still employed.
These young hustlers are the entrepreneurs on which the economy of Namibia is being built. Like bees, they are always busy creating work opportunities not only for themselves but for others too.
And for this reason, they need information and tips to help them do better and do more at whatever hustle job they are at.
Here are a few tools which you could begin to work with to make your start-up journey more efficient. These tools will assist you in saving time and money for your small business.
- Financial tools
– Freshbooks is a free cloud accounting software that includes powerful features such as time tracking, invoicing, project tracking, and the ability to accept credit card payments.
- Project collaboration tools
– Trello is a project management tool that is best suited to those who appreciate visuals and graphs.
- Proposal Tools
– Prospero helps you create proposals while also helping you price out each project. For this reason, it’s ideal for new freelancers still getting used to the lay of the land.
- Calendar Tools
– Google Calendar is one of the best tools for freelancers in terms of calendar management.
- Cloud Storage Tools
– Dropbox is a cloud storage software that is free to use with a set storage limit
– Google Drive includes access to their suite of software tools, including Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
