ESSENTIAL ENTREPRENEUR TOOLS

• Upwork connects freelancers with clients across the globe, making it easy to find gigs or hire talent for just about any project. Whether you're a pro looking for flexible work or a business needing top-tier skills, this platform has you covered.*

• Ever wish you had a super simple way to organize all your tasks?
  Trello makes it easy with digital boards that track everything from “to-do” to “done,” plus you can assign tasks, set deadlines, and add notes.

• We've all had those less-than-great workdays, especially in sales or retail. Not Always Right is packed with funny, clever, and sometimes scary stories from people who’ve been there too.

COOL FINDS

Starting a seasonal business can be a great way to bring in extra cash without committing year-round.

Here are a few seasonal business ideas to kick things off:

• Farmers Market Booth: Sell fresh produce, baked goods, or handcrafted items during the summer. Booth fees are usually affordable, and markets handle most of the marketing for you.

• Firewood Sales: Perfect for winter. Sell seasoned firewood bundles and offer local delivery for an extra fee if you have a truck.

• Food Truck or Booth: Great for festivals, farmers markets, or even winter hot drink stands at ice rinks or ski resorts.

• Holiday Decorator: Help people with holiday light installations, gift wrapping, or festive home decor during the holiday season.

• Lawn Care and Landscaping: Offer lawn maintenance services in the warmer months, and create package deals to keep steady work.

If you're looking for ideas, think about what works in your area and what you're passionate about—there’s always a way to turn that into a business!
