Manage episode 489245086 series 3659739
If you’ve ever stared at your screen wondering, “Do I really need all these apps?” this episode’s for you.
I’m Kylie Harper, and in this week’s Micropreneur Mastery, we’re untangling the chaos of digital tools and rebuilding your tech stack from the ground up with affordable, practical tools made for solopreneurs. No jargon. No overwhelm. Just tools that actually work.
You’ll walk away with:
Tools that streamline your productivity (Notion, Todoist, Evernote, Google Workspace)
Project management picks for staying on top of client work (Trello, Asana, ClickUp)
Communication apps that save you hours in email and updates (Slack, Zoom, Mailchimp)
Invoicing + payment solutions to keep your finances clean and flowing (Wave, QuickBooks, Stripe)
Marketing tools that grow your reach—without hiring a team (Canva, Buffer, Google Analytics)
Bonus: My top picks for automation, scheduling, and passwords (Zapier, Calendly, LastPass)
You’ll also hear how real micropreneurs—like Tessa, John, Mia, and Sarah—are using these exact tools to cut hours off their workload, land more clients, and keep their sanity intact.
🛠️ ACTION STEPS INSIDE: Every section includes one quick win you can try this week. Whether you’re new to tech or just tired of bouncing between tabs, this episode helps you create a system that works with you, not against you.
👀 What we’re not doing: hyping shiny apps you don’t need, pushing pricey subscriptions, or assuming you’ve got a whole team to manage them.
This is for scrappy, smart, solo business owners who want to get organized, stay profitable, and spend less time on admin and more time doing what they love.
🔍 Whether you're a freelancer, Etsy seller, coach, VA, or content creator—your tech stack should give you freedom, not friction.
