Tools and Tech for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
Tech you need to start a business adventure the right way
Whatever is your business, you’ll need some tools and applications to manage it. Your most important responsibility is knowing how things work, and that means handling information and sharing it with others.
Now, before you can get high-speed internet, a computer, or a printer, you need to know what you need, what you need it for, and how you can make it both reliable and cheap.
The good news is that now any entrepreneur can have the tech for very little money and even many free technology tools that were previously only reserved for the big ones.
“To have a great idea, have a lot of them.” — Thomas Edison
If I started a company now, here’s what I would do:
Around $400 bucks will get you more than a decent laptop. You could buy it secondhand, but the problem is you don’t know the condition and you are not willing to risk the information you work with on someone else’s used laptop. Known and reliable brands: Acer, HP, Dell, Lenovo.
You have better support, easier repair, find drivers, etc. Don’t you think about using the same device you have at home so that the children do their homework…
