Evernote

It is one thing to plan, but it is totally a different thing to execute your plans. As a student or a youth aspiring to go into business , you start by writing important details down. You don't need to sweat every detail of creating a long document. Instead, jot down essential points as bullets, and tables, and bare explanations. The strategy element of planning is to focus on what you’re good at, what matters, which people are most important to you and what you can do for them. It’s about positioning, determining your target market and product focus.

It's important to document these details in order to communicate your vision to sponsors or partners. If you don't have a team, there's value in referring back to your original thoughts regarding the path for your business and comparing them to actual results.

Evernote will not only give you the space to jot down important plans, it also helps you stay organized throughout the process of executing your plans. Modern life can be complicated. Simplify it with Evernote, the app to manage it all.

WhatsApp Messenger

Other instant messaging apps are great too, but a new business partner or client would readily give you his/her phone number instead of a BBM pin, trust me, you don’t want to screw with your communication techniques. When you give out your phone number too, make sure you give out the number associated with your whatsapp account, you never know who might contact you first through whatsapp, so, always keep your options open.

WhatsApp Messenger is a FREE messaging app available for Android and other smartphones. WhatsApp uses your phone's Internet connection (4G/3G/2G/EDGE or Wi-Fi, as available) to let you message and call friends and family. Switch from SMS to WhatsApp to send and receive messages, calls, photos, videos, documents, and Voice Messages.

WHY USE WHATSAPP:

• MULTIMEDIA: Send and receive photos, videos, documents, and Voice Messages.

• FREE CALLS: Call your friends and family for free with WhatsApp Calling, even if they're in another country.* WhatsApp calls use your phone's Internet connection rather than your cellular plan's voice minutes.
