The Lean Stack

You don't need more tools. You need the right few - and the discipline to ignore the rest.

Fourteen subscriptions. Half of them barely used. A new "game-changing" app in your inbox every week. Somehow you're spending more and running things no better than before.

The Lean Stack is the antidote to shiny-object syndrome. It gives you a simple framework to choose the smallest set of tools that actually runs your business - and to say no to everything else with confidence.

Inside, you'll learn how to:
• Audit the tools you already pay for and cut the dead weight
• Run any new app through a fast buy-it-or-skip-it scorecard
• Build a core stack matched to how your business actually works
• Stop paying for overlap and features you'll never touch
• Choose tools that connect - instead of ten that don't talk to each other

Vendor-neutral and practical. No affiliate hype, no "top 50 apps" filler - just how to decide.

Fewer tools. Better decisions. Start with the stack.
