we hear that technology follows entrepreneurship, especially when we talk to young people, but talking about this subject usually refers to something more innovative or advanced. In this article we want to present simple solutions that exist on any cell phone and that can collaborate for your personal organization.
The real truth is that they are solutions used in an analog way — in short, on paper — but that, moving to cell phones, can generate a ease of management and work process, achieving better results and with greater efficiency. Follow our tips!

5 apps on your mobile that help when it comes to entrepreneurship
1. Calendar
this is one of the most important tools, as it collaborates with your daily organization. We believe that this item should be developed at school, working with tests, activity deliveries or projects, as, in this way, it would already be an adaptation to the labor market.
With the calendar on the phone, it is possible to place reminders for you. notify in advance of appointments, thus facilitating its preparation. You can also work with project deadlines and even birthdays for the people who work with you. If you use a calendar like Gmail, it's even simpler, as you can update information on your computer and it will automatically be updated on your mobile.

2. Whatsapp
Surely this application should be installed on most people's cell phones, but we can make some mistakes in managing it. First of all, we usually mix contacts from friends, family and business. To make matters worse, we often don't save the name, that is, only the cell phone number is displayed in the message list. In situations like this, it's easier to send the wrong messages, so:
- manage your contacts well;
- save the names with the companies they work for;
- have different communication patterns;
- stay tuned with company and staff groups.
This is a very important tool for communication, but since we mix types of contact, it can become a big issue as well.

3. Facebook and Instagram
Other apps that are installed on most telephone devices. Although, separate your people from the professional, that is, open a page or company profile on these social media. But know how to manage them as if they were your personal, following posts, interactions, likes and shares.
You can use the same applications already installed, as they have some tools that help with this monitoring, but there are others more specific to business accounts that can bring more information and solutions.
4. Grades
Every operating system has a notepad, which is usually already installed. Many entrepreneurs like and should make notes in:
- meetings;
- speaker comments;
- information received at events;
- partner or customer contacts;
But if you do this kind of process on any paper or notebook, sometimes the information can get lost, not to mention that you don't keep these items all day. The cell phone is a great place to take notes, organize them by type (meeting, events, ideas, process, solutions, contacts, etc.) or projects (client 1, client 2, etc.), so you can access all this information from anywhere and anytime.

5. Email
We hear from many young people that e-mail is just a user or registration to participate in something and that they do not use this communication process in their daily lives. However, in the professional market, this is the most used tool to send and receive messages, so installing your account on your mobile email reader is the same as installing WhatsApp. You don't need to reply to every message or just work on your cell phone, as these are usually larger messages and information that needs to be evaluated to respond, but to keep up with what's coming and realize urgencies or priorities, it's essential.
