When covid hit and everyone sitting at home, I started learning about different ways to make money and listened to hundreds of podcasts.

That opened up various avenues for me and I am right now a writer and a chess coach. As I said in a previous article, I always get excited to write about my life and about new business ideas.

In the past few years, I have used various tools and purchased a lot of memberships to run my business. Currently, I am using 3 tools which are saving me a lot of time.

Scheduling tools help you to create meeting types and accept payments in different ways. It becomes very easy for the client and coach.

I started with TidyCal and that was so far the best purchase I have ever made. You get a Tidycal lifetime…
