Each Friday at 12 N EST the International Association of Solopreneurs has a BlogTalkRadio program called SoloTalk. Our show this week had three incredible guests that shared their recommended resources and how they use them. As we discussed many of us get caught in the shiny penny syndrome which certainly distracts us from our business and doing what is most important — creating an income. You can listen to the recorded show Are You Pulling Your Hair Out Trying to Determine Which Technology Tools Are Best for Solopreneurs?

I learned a lot from these successful business owners about their best practices. Connect with each of them at www.solopreneurs.org as well as their business websites you will find below. I tried to capture all of the resources they shared, this post is packed with value.
