Whoop
WHOOP measures the only metrics scientifically proven to make a significant impact on your physical and mental health.

Filter Optix
Filter Optix blue light blocking glasses will improve your health through better sleep and circadian rhythm. I had serious issues with falling to sleep at night, only to discover it was mostly down to the fact that I was watching TV and scrolling on my phone in the evening. Popping on a pair of these glasses each evening has been a total game changer for me. I can’t recommend them enough.

Surveying and Growing Your Audience
Survey Monkey
Surveying your audience is something every entrepreneur should be doing at least a handful of times throughout the year. We’ve used Survey Monkey for years and it’s by far the easiest platform to find out how satisfied your customers are with your current products or services, as well as getting feedback on things like events so that you and your team can make improvements for next time.
Score App
Another great platform we use is ScoreApp. The Next Step Business Assessment quiz we’ve put together has enabled us to generate leads, find out where they are in their entrepreneurial journey, what their pain points are and produce a personalized report tailored to their answers. It’s been a game changer for us to get to know our prospects and how we can help them! Full disclosure, I’m an investor in this company.
YouTube
It’s no secret that video marketing has become a negotiable for anyone that’s serious about growing an online focused business. Whether it’s based around your personal brand, or products and services that you’re offering as part of the bigger picture, YouTube offers you the chance to grow an audience full of raving fans that will tun in regularly to learn and be entertained.
