Hey, it's Mark Podolski, The Lane Geek. Thelanegeek.com let's have another virtual cup of coffee together. Still sticking with that bulletproof coffee. I love it. So you're going through some growing pains in your LAN business, right? You've got several VAs, you've got your due diligence VA, you've got your marketing VA, you have your deal flow VA. Maybe you're combining it, maybe you have an admin, maybe you have someone helping you with your website. So how do all these people communicate so you create a team? Well, I've been using a program called basecamp, basecamp.com it's free for two, for like two months to try it out. And it's a really nice way to help communicate with your team. Everyone can see it. If you don't want someone to see something, you can do that as well. So you can communicate that way. But what I like about it is that unlike email, everything lives in one spot. So it's not sporadic. Everyone can see what everyone's doing. You can have discussions, you can have to do's, you can create priorities and deadlines and it's just a phenomenal way to help communicate with your team. It has unlimited users, unlike some other of these project management software solutions that have they charge you by the user. I think Basecamp only charges by storage. So it's really not that bad. Anyways, check it out. It's going to help you with your communication, it's going to help manage your team, going to make you more productive. So you're working on your business and not in your business.
