“Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and consistent effort.” Paul J Meyer

The truth is, everyone could be more productive. All they need is the correct tools and strategies to use these tools. In this article, you will learn about the five essential tools that we use to manage and grow our business efficiently at Ummahpreneur. We think every entrepreneur can benefit by using these tools to successfully start or grow their business.

Let’s dive deep to explore these tools.

1. Asana

The first tool is Asana. This software has been essential to managing projects and operating efficiently within our business. By using Asana, everyone in our team knows what they’re up to, their deadlines, roles, and what we are building together!

Why Asana?

Asana is a powerful and customizable project management tool, and it’s where you can keep track of all of your different task lists, projects and build your business in the most organized ways.

Key features of Asana

• Keep track of projects through deadlines and filters.
• The ability to comment on tasks.
• View tasks associated with a project.

The features within Asana such as timeline have helped us map out with clarity how the pieces of our project fit together and enabled us to synchronize our efforts successfully as a team.

Best of all, it’s completely free. We have been using the free version this whole time, so we haven’t paid to benefit from this incredible software.

2. Canva

The second tool is Canva. When your business needs to be present on social media, you need to provide engagement-worthy content that will resonate with your target audience. This tool has been absolutely essential and a game-changer to produce aesthetic graphics for our social media platforms.

Canva is an easy-to-use graphic design and video editing tool that allows you to design and publish anything using an intuitive drag-and-drop editor. It’s easily accessible by phone or tablet and is user-friendly. Not only can you use it to spice up your social media content, but you can also use it to design things like presentations, invitations, posters, brochures, business cards, and more.

3. Discord

The third tool is Discord. We use this tool to communicate with each other within our business, and this tool has been essential for building a healthy relationship with our team members. 

Why Discord?

Discord is for anyone who could use a place to talk with their friends, teammates, and communities. Discord servers are organized into topic-based channels where you can collaborate, share, and talk about the particular topic that the channel represents. 

Key features of Discord:

• You can video call or share your screen.
• By using the features of Channels, you can direct message or discuss important topics with your team members.
• Share files features allow you to share important files, documents, links, photos, and videos with your team members.

Discord helps us keep our team members tight-knit and build a healthy environment and work culture. It has allowed us to be more focused and productive within our business. If we want to talk or discuss something with our team members, we just drop a message in a text channel or hop on a quick call using the built-in voice channel features. We don’t have to create a google meet or zoom link for this, as Discord already has this feature built-in!

4. StreamYard

The fourth tool is StreamYard. We use this tool to manage and broadcast our live podcast at Ummahpreneur. Every Tuesday, we have a live podcast broadcast on platforms like Spotify, Google Podcast, Apple podcast, and more, where we interview Muslim entrepreneurs. They essentially talk about their experience, expertise and share lots of beautiful gems on the podcast for everyone to benefit from.

Why StreamYard?

StreamYard lets you broadcast via YouTube, Facebook Live, LinkedIn Live, Periscope, or Twitch. On both personal and business profiles pages. It will help reach a larger audience from different platforms to increase visibility and get more views.

Key features of StreamYard:

• It supports Multistreaming
• It encourages audience participation as it allows comments on the live stream.
• You don’t need to download any tool to use StreamYard.

StreamYard is a beautiful tool that has a free version, but you have to pay for this one. With the free version, their branding is shown throughout the live stream. But if you use the basic version, which comes for just 20$ a month, you can share your own customized branding and unlock great live-streaming features.
