Templates for Entrepreneurs

An optimised starting point saves hours of "figuring it out".

A well designed template on Notion, Airtable or Google Sheets can jumpstart a task to get completed much faster than anticipated. Templates eliminate the gruelling stage where we all ponder to figure out "how best to display it all". I found that sharing what I spent hours refining has helped others to focus on content, not context. These are all entrepreneurial templates I built – most are free, some are paid. ✌︎
