Did you know that 81% of small businesses have no employees? That’s a lot of responsibility on one set of shoulders! But this isn’t just true for traditional small businesses - online entrepreneurs, content creators, and freelancers often work solo too. And the most painful part? Most of the time, when a great idea pops into your head, it vanishes within seconds. Ring any bells? Been there, done that? This happens because of something called cognitive load. It’s the mental effort used in working memory. When there’s too much going on in your brain, some ideas slip away as your brain prioritizes what seems more important at the moment. It’s like having too many tabs open in your browser – eventually, some just have to close! Well, as a solution, I’ve recently been using tools that help me stay organized, and I can’t tell you how much of a difference it’s made. One of my favorites is Todoist. I know what you’re thinking - “It’s just another to-do list app, right?” Yes, but here’s the magic: This app understands natural language input. You can type tasks exactly as you would say them, including due dates and times. For example, simply type “Write a blog post about tips to lose weight tomorrow at 2 PM,” and Todoist will automatically set the right time for you. No need to click through complicated menus – just type it like you would say it. Thanks to this feature, I can easily remember everything I need to do, and since it works with other apps like Notion, everything stays neatly organized. So, if you’re struggling with the same issues, I highly recommend trying out Todoist! And it’s worth mentioning that I’m still on their free plan, and it works well for me. Cheers, Minosh.

Helping everyday people start and grow their online businesses with strategies and tools that get results.
I remember when I tried to watch website visits, followers, email opens, and Pinterest saves… It was just too much. Yes, I tried to grow them all, looking at all of them. But it’s not the right way. The people at Morning Brew (yes, the daily email newsletter that delivers business and tech news has grown to over 4 million subscribers) did the right thing at that time. They picked one number to focus on. That’s how they grew. Trying to watch every metric only leaves you tired and confused. If...
Ever notice how the people you trust most online don’t start by selling you something? They start by teaching. It’s one of the things I learned from reading tons of blog posts and watching YouTube videos. They always showed why it matters before trying to sell anything. Here’s the truth: If you’re always trying to sell, people stop paying attention. For example, if every post sounds like this: “Buy my $16 template pack!” Try it this way instead: “I remember feeling stuck every week, signing...
I had a friend who started selling wall art and he strongly believed that if he built something great, people would just show up. He launched, waited, and waited some more. Then, after a few months, I asked him how the business was going. He said he just gave up on it. He really started it, and that’s a good thing. But after all that work, it was just…quiet. Too quiet. But what he missed was telling people why they should choose him. In other words, weak positioning. He could have chosen who...
