You can be a great entrepreneur with plenty of ambition, spirit and smarts. You can also have a great team supporting you but we all know a lot of what gets people through their busy, challenging days are apps that help keep them organized, in the know, effective and inspired. Here are 8 super useful ones that every female entrepreneur needs to download ASAP.


Bossygrl


This is the ultimate app if you are wanting to start your own company. According to founder Eileen Gittins, the platform helps mold women into entrepreneurs by creating and growing a real e-commerce business all from their phone. Once you have downloaded it, you can create your logo, add it to your camera roll and then brand any products you need to (t-shirts, tote bags, mugs.) You will literally create your own store from your phone.


Slack


Slack has become the ultimate communication tool. You can do everything on this platform including make phone calls, upload videos, photos, GIFs, literally anything. And you can do it all from your phone.


HelloSign


Need to sign a doc? Don’t even think about the headache of having to download one then print it then sign it and then scan it. All of that trouble has been eliminated thanks to this brilliant app.


Bumble Bizz


The dating app that put women in the driver’s seat now will help you network and make professional contacts. Founder Whitney Wolfe said of Bumble Bizz, which was always part of her plan, “Why does it have to be all about love?” she told Fast Company. “How do we expand horizons beyond just saying, ‘You’re a female, you have to get married by 30’?”


Trello


With this app you will literally become an organization machine. It organizes your projects into boards, lists, and cards so you can better prioritize work and life.


Shine Text


We can be the happiest of people but it is always nice to have a dose of daily inspiration especially when you are always on the run. Shine sends you free daily text messages with motivational quotes, positive affirmations and actions you can take every morning to make your day a great one.


Shapr


Similar to Bumble Biz, you also swipe right on people you want to connect with and left for when it just isn’t a match. Simply set up a professional profile on the app (and yes, you can use your LinkedIn profile.)


Pocket


When you are constantly consuming information and trying to keep up to date on it all it can be hard to organize it all and even remember where you found it. Well this app provides you with a virtual pocket. You can save all the things you want to read or share for later including articles, videos and other pieces of content.
