00:00As you know, there's a difference between working in your business and on your business.
00:05They're completely separate things.
00:07And it's no and you have tools for for the two separate things.
00:11So when you're doing your work, you need tools to do your work.
00:17So for instance, I'm a consultant and a coach and I work remotely.
00:20So I need to be able to connect to the client.
00:24So I use I use remote software.
00:29I actually use a app called around.
00:31So it's it's like a zoom type type thing or what's the remote app?
00:37Gosh, I've gone remote X for instance.
00:40So those those are the tools that I need to do my work,
00:45but there's another set of tools that a lot of people don't really think about when they're running their business,
00:50which is to run your business.
00:52You need tools to run your business.
00:55You need a CRM.
00:56You need a project management tool that could be used for both.
01:01But basically a project management or communication tool.
01:04If you're working in a team, I mean project management tool if you're working in a team as well.
01:09So there are completely different sets of tools for the different parts of your business.
01:18If you're doing social media, that's tools for your business
01:22because you're doing social media for somebody else as well as for yourself basically.
01:29So if you separate the two works,
01:34there are tools that I need for my work and tools that I need for my business.
01:39It makes a lot more sense when it comes to choosing those tools.
01:44So for instance, the way the way I've got my tool set up.
01:50There are three areas in my in my life.
01:52There's personal there's work and there's business and I get asked a lot about what's the difference between work and business.
02:01It's quite simple.
02:02Work is client work work that I have to do business is stuff that I have to do for myself to make my business run.
02:09So I have different calendars.
02:11I have different to-do lists.
02:13I have different methods for those two sections and it's exactly the same with my tools.
02:18I have work tools that I need to do when I'm working with my clients
02:23and I have business tools to run my business and make things easier to run my business for myself.
02:30So it's something that you should really think about when it comes to picking your tools because yeah,
02:37work and business are actually two separate things.
02:40They're not the same thing at all.
02:43Anyway, if you have any questions, let me know.
02:45They'll be linked below and I'll see you in the next one.
02:49See you.
