Upgrade your business resources this month with some cool and sustainable stationery, a to-the-point podcast for entrepreneurs and a book for anyone wanting to escape the tyranny of email. Plus, two Australia-based businesses: a microsite tool that’s taken the world by storm and payment equipment designed for small to medium businesses.

The Handy Office Accessory: Tesla Magnetic Notes

These Tesla Magnetic Notes are an eco-friendly business resource.

There’s a lot to love about sticky notes. So colourful, so convenient, so free from true commitment! Polypropylene Tesla Magnetic Notes have all that plus some sustainability cred: they’re glue-free, reusable and 100% recyclable. Not only can you jot down notes as you would with regular Post-its on the coloured, paper-like side of each of these bits of plastic, but the reverse, white side works like a mini-whiteboard – write, wipe off, write again. While it can be a bit tricky using these at first – as they use static charge, not adhesive, to stick to surfaces – if you follow the tips, they can be a clever and environmental way to brainstorm and memo.

The Australian Link in Bio Tool: Linktree

Linktree is the best business resource for small businesses running social media pages.

If you’re a freelancer or a small business, Linktree is ideal if you want to build a basic website for your portfolio or “about me” page. It also works really well if you want to point users to multiple web pages from a social media account that only allows one link in the bio. It’s a free service, or there’s a paid “Pro” subscription which offers customisation options for US$6 a month. Linktree is an Australia-based company but there are a few serious competitors too, including bio.fm and Carrd, which went viral after Kim Kardashian shared the microsite on her socials last year.

A Concise Podcast for Entrepreneurs: Founder’s Journal

The Founder’s Journal is the best podcast for small business owners.

Alex Lieberman co-founded the laugh-out-loud business newsletter Morning Brew, but he takes a more solemn tone in Founder’s Journal, the audio diary he broadcasts three times a week. Some episodes are as short as seven minutes and never longer than they need be, whether it’s 12 minutes for Lieberman’s personal rules for forging connections in a digital era, or 22 minutes dedicated to what you can learn from Salesforce’s origins. An easy listen on the commute to work (or while you make your breakfast before heading to your home office).

Targeted Business Solutions for SMEs: Zeller

The Zeller terminal is the best business resource for SMEs if you need a way to accept card payments.

The Zeller terminal accepts payments from all major cards at a single rate, comes without rental costs or a lock-in contract and can be used cordlessly, too. Also included: a transaction account and a Zeller Mastercard without annual fees or fees on domestic purchases. The founders of the Australian fintech told Smart Company that while micro-businesses are well served by Square, and large enterprises are looked after by traditional banking, Zeller caters for SMEs in between.

The Book for Improving How You Work: A World Without Email

A World Without Email is the best business resource if you regularly get stuck in your inbox.

Georgetown University computer science professor Cal Newport says our work output is malformed by a steady stream of unstructured, unscheduled digital messages (AKA email and instant chat platforms). He explored a better way of working in his 2016 book Deep Work, but in A World Without Email, Newport puts the responsibility of fixing this unplanned attention-wrenching on companies, rather than encouraging individuals to clear their inboxes. He looks at alternative workflow models, including hardcore “extreme programming”, where programmers work on a task in pairs without breaks, meetings or online chat, then go home when they’re done. A good thought-starter if you know you spend your mornings stuck in your inbox!
