30 Free Life and Business Tools
We’ve all been seduced by those that magic word “FREE.” It’s right up there with “life hacks” and “ageless” in its power to reel in even sophisticated consumers. Often, of course, we often find “free” comes with strings attached or the freebee is so lame you’d just as soon wished you’d passed.
I hope you’ll put aside all that valuable consumer experience and consider that I have something free to offer and valuable. I’m talking about the couple of dozen free resource downloads that come with my book “The 100: Building Blocks for Business Leadership.”
The free downloads you’ll find associated with my book include templates and checklists. These are free, don’t require sharing your information, and don’t require a book purchase.
