😅 Been There, Googled That
“How do I link a button in Wix?”
“Why is my Canva font acting weird?”
“What even IS a tripwire?”
“Help, I broke my whole landing page and now I want to cry.” 😭
If you've been there (or are currently there), you are not alone.And guess what? You’re not bad at tech — you just haven’t had it explained in a way that makes sense to you.
That’s what we’re doing here.
🧠 Why Tech Feels Overwhelming (and How to Beat It)
Tech isn’t hard — it’s just layered, jargon-filled, and often built by people who assume you already know the basics.
But here's the good news:You don't have to learn it all. You just need to know what you need for where you are in your business.
🛠️ Tech You Actually Need (No Extra Fluff)
If you’re launching or growing your dream biz online, you really only need:
Tool Type | What to Use |
Website Builder | Wix, HighLevel |
Design Tool | Canva (you’ll love it, promise) |
Email Platform | HighLevel, ConvertKit, or MailerLite |
Payment Processor | Stripe, PayPal |
Video Tool | CapCut, Canva, Loom |
Project Planner | Trello, Notion, Google Docs |
You can do SO much with just those. You don’t need 12 logins and a PhD in Zapier.
