1. Audible Subscription: This is like an university for entrepreneurs. Given it’s vast library of business and self-improvement books, Audible will keep your mind sharp, during your workouts or your commutes and travels. As Warren Buffett once said, “The more you learn, the more you earn.” With Audible, it’s like having Buffett himself whispering investment secrets in your ear. Point to note, as of May 2023, over 27 million people visited audible websites – where most of them reportedly access brain stimulation and relaxation exercises.

2. Moleskine Smart Notebook: This can offer you that perfect blend of analog and digital. You can jot down ideas on the go, and this nifty notebook will sync them to your devices. That makes your ideas always accessible at your fingertips! Like Richard Branson’s infamous notebook – now you can have your own. Recalling what Branson once said, “Entrepreneurship is about turning what excites you in life into capital.” With this smart notebook in your hands, you can turn your brilliant ideas into business and career gold. Interestingly enough, the global market for smart notebooks is expected to exceed USD 150 million by 2026! Alternatively, you could try Evernote, to capture ideas, for web clippings, and your to-do lists – all in one place.

3. MindMeister: Entrepreneurship is always about brainstorming and testing new ideas. And that is where you need to collaborate with your team to map out new ideas and strategies. Mind Meister allows you to do this visually, like a digital whiteboard for your thoughts. And if you were to believe in Steve Jobs’ words, “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower” this could be your secret sauce to do more.

Well, Headspace offers guided meditation and mindfulness exercises, and these could go a long way to reduce the daily stress in our lives as entrepreneurs. Quoting a couple of lines from the Dalai Lama: “The purpose of our lives is to be happy” – And Headspace can be the go-to app to help you find your zen in the hustle and bustle of our business worlds. Little wonder, Headspace has 70 million+ people accessing it around the world, cool, isn’t it? It’s like so many people are getting daily mental spa for their brains.

5. TED Talks: This is my ultimate source of inspiration. I watch thought-provoking talks from industry leaders and innovators worldwide, and try to iteratively improve processes at work and in personal life. And I believe, everyone can use TED Talks to get a close peek into the world of learning and inspiration. Who knows, your next big idea might come from a TED story.

6. Fitbit: If health is wealth, tracking physical well-being is a must for all. And this app can go a long way to ensure peak performance in your entrepreneurial journey. According to Forbes, people who exercise regularly are at least 15% more efficient than others. If this stat is to be believed, an app like Fitbit might just be another secret sauce behind your next big breakthrough.

7. LinkedIn Premium: Have you been using this tool? If not, believe me, it can help expand your professional network. You can access in-depth industry insights, and hence must consider the investment as a dividend paying stock.
