What tools do small business owners actually use every day? Everywhere online I see “50 must-have tools” lists, but I can’t imagine anyone realistically using even half of them. Most people I know use just a few things: - payments - invoicing - maybe a CRM - something to get customers That’s it. What tools are actually part of your daily workflow?

The actual SMB stack: - WhatsApp is the CRM - Excel is the database - Canva is the design team - Gmail is the legal archive - the payments app is the finance dashboard Then someone adds a SaaS tool and forgets the password in 12 days. People call this messy. I call it production.
