I have a worrisome relationship with this site. This is a meaningful spending bucket for my business. AppSumo offers lifetime deals for software tools that are essential in running my business. It's geared towards entrepreneurs, internet marketers, and product marketers which is pretty much what I do. I'm relentless about checking this site for new deals, but if you're not obsessed like I am, just check out their email list. Here are some of the things I mentioned on the site:

Fiverr - I hire a number of freelancers from Fiverr to handle things from web tasks, to show notes, to research projects, to data entry. Outsourcing baby!

Bar Diaries with Jason Littrell
BarDiaries is a weekly podcast for bar and restaurant owners who are building something real.
Host Jason Littrell, a 20-year hospitality veteran, sits down with independent operators across the United States to hear their stories - how they got started, what makes their spot unique, the challenges of running their business, and the lessons they've learned along the way.
This isn't a food review show. It's a business podcast for operators, by operators. Whether you're running your own spot, thinking about opening one, or just want to hear from people in the trenches, BarDiaries gives you the real talk about what it takes to succeed as an independent operator.
