Scheduling appointments got you tearing your hair out? You're not alone.
Today I will tackle two issues I hear all the time:

- I have to do it all. I provide the service and I am also the admin who manages everything.
For every solo entrepreneur, who is relying on meeting clients, we’re going to explore best scheduling apps with the objective to create an automate online booking system free of any upfront investments.
I will use a massage business as an example. But, trust me, these concepts apply to any clinic booking systems, or consulting businesses, or any service focused ventures.
This post shares free apps to optimize your booking workflow. Soon you'll be focused on delivering great massages, not untangling schedules. Ready to relax? Let's dive in.
