So, you've stepped into the exciting world of entrepreneurship. But let's talk tools for a moment. You know those trusty flip charts everyone's been using forever? Well, it's time to wave them goodbye and embrace some tech magic. đ
In this post, I'll spill the beans on why flip charts might not be your BFF anymore and introduce you to three super cool alternatives that'll make your coaching sessions smoother than ever.
The Flip Chart Blues: First off, let's give credit where it's due. Flip charts have been our ride-or-dies for ages. But here's the scoop: they're not all sunshine and rainbows. When you tally up the cost of the board, easel, markers, and sheets, it's like, "Whoa, budget alert!" Plus, these things hog space like they're in a competition. And don't get me started on the eternal struggle to fit them in frame and dodge those pesky light glares. đ¶ïž And oh, the hours we spend prepping materials and wondering if our handwriting is Zoom-worthy!
