-
Create different calendars for your personal items, your day job and your business.
3) Storage: Dropbox.com
Why do you need a cloud storage? Most likely, your computer will run out of space if you save everything to your computer. You won’t have to worry about running out of storage when it is all stored on the cloud. This is also better in case you lost your computer and for sharing files across our team in the future.
Sign up for dropbox.com. You can sign up for free to get started but you will want to review the pricing options because most likely you will need to pay pretty quickly for the amount of storage you’ll need.
Eventually, you’ll want to upgrade to Dropbox for business but you don’t need that starting out. We’ve now transitioned to Dropbox plus but you won’t need that for a long time.
What you’ll learn in the podcast:

How to delegate your tasks
