Your Hidden Business Superpower:
Everyday Tools You're Not Using Yet
Let’s be honest. Running a small business sometimes feels like speed dating your to-do list. Emails, social media, customer follow-ups… and somewhere in there, you’re supposed actually to run your business. In this 20-minute session, Carol Chenot will introduce you to the everyday tools that quietly handle the boring stuff—like your own team of invisible interns. You’ll walk away knowing how to automate routine tasks, reclaim your time, and maybe even drink a cup of coffee while it’s still hot.
