From Mary-Lynn, marketing: We’re always trying to work smarter, not harder. I’ve picked up several tips and tricks that have helped me determine prioritization and tradeoffs when balancing projects at work. But what does prioritization look like when you’re dealing with a longer horizon, like launching a small business? That’s where Khe’s doc comes in handy. Khe has helped many small business owners assign dollar values to their tasks, pinpoint which projects will yield the most benefits for years to come, and prioritize work accordingly. If you’re looking for a framework that helps you work smarter, not harder, for your future business, check out this doc. 
From Rocky, marketing: Jaime Hwacinski’s Flexible Invoice System comes ‘out-of-the-box’ and ready for use, so small businesses can jump right in without having to make many changes. But its beauty lies in its scalability. As your business grows, you could easily add to this doc and make it a CRM to contact past customers. Or you could track total income generated by a specific customer. A doc that scales with your business...what more can you ask for?
From Andrew, engineering: Running a small business is challenging because it’s impossible to know everything. Learning happens on the job, and that includes finding the best tools to run your administrative functions. This is an excellent resource to help evaluate your startup’s toolbox. From invoicing to payroll software, this guide has it all. 
From Andrew, sales: Writing can be a difficult task at a personal level, let alone at an organizational one.
