I wanted to share a few “things” we’ve found that have helped us in various ways.
Even though Intercom is currently in beta, I’ve found it very useful. You can message certain users within your app using various filters.
CallRail allows you to see where each caller came from. Perhaps customers who found you from Twitter call you more often than search engine traffic. Find out with CallRail.com
We’re going to be using Sellfy to sell our ebook this spring. It allows you to quickly sell digital goods and even give social currency discounts.
I love caffeine in the form of coffee. Tassimo Brewbot produces a great cup of joe. FYI, it’s better than the Keurig coffee maker.
This year we launched LessFilms. Eric Darnell is the lead on the project, and it’s off to a smashing start. LessFilms can produce both live-action and animated (kinetic text) videos.
I love to keep a clean inbox, so if there’s an email that I don’t need to address for a few days or weeks, I forward it to this app and they’ll send it back to me when I need to take action on it.

Get Concentrating is an OSX app that eliminates distractions.

Okay, so I don’t yet have a subscription to Zingerman’s Bacon of the Month Club, but I’d like one, so if you’re feeling generous, please buy it for me.
If you wanted it to build a product you’d find a way to get time to work on it. If you really wanted to start that new hobby you’d sacrifice something to find the time and money to do it.

In the past few years I've built go-carts, built a 200+ sq ft workshop, written several eBooks. How do I create a life where I have time to work on side projects?
