Getting Your Business Off To A Great Start
In this episode, of Startup Daddy I talk about some things you can do to get your business off to a great start in the coming year.
- I cover the 3 Words exercise started by Chris Brogan, where you pick 3 words that will frame your year. If you pick three words, please drop them in the comments below.
- I talk about Mailstrom, a tool that in their words, puts you back in control of your inbox — power through thousands of messages in just a few clicks. I tried it out, and Mailstrom did help me get my inbox under control. Give it a try.
- Archiving and backing up your important data
- Dropbox (use this link and we both get extra space!)
- Google Drive
- Amazon Cloud Drive

Startup Daddy is a Business Startup Podcast hosted by Ian Gordon. We discuss the issues surrounding getting a business started, and growing that business once you get it off the ground.
Great to have you back! My three words are:
1. Clarity: Getting clear on exactly what I want to do and what I want to Accomplish.
2. Focus: Avoid distractions, stay on task, and finish what I start.
3. Relax: Take time for myself, my family and friends, don’t take myself to seriously and have fun while at work and at play.
I use Google drive to back up most of my data and also use Evernote premium to store and organize a lot of my paperwork, notes, and ideas.
I will check out Mailstrom sounds interesting.
Great podcast,I always find one or two things that are helpful.
Thanks,
Bill Malizia
