Miro.com: get everyone on the same page

How are we supposed to “get everyone on the same page,” if we never show them the page in our minds?

Miro.com is the best time-saving digital white boarding tool that we’ve found. Here’s why:

Spreadsheets were never meant for brainstorming and sharing ideas.

That’s what whiteboards and sticky notes were for. I’ve even used the Post-it Notes app to take photos of actual sticky notes on a whiteboard, then reorganize them digitally.

But most of my meetings are online, with people in multiple cities or countries, and we aren’t going back to a whiteboard in an office, any more than a dot matrix printer.

It’s fast and easy to learn. Anyone can figure it out.

It looks like a regular whiteboard with sticky notes. You make a note, then move it around.

I use it with clients on discovery calls, and I ask “would you mind if I shared my screen and took notes while you talk?” This communicates that I’m listening, and shows that I’m hearing and visualizing the owner’s workflow and issues to solve.

As I add notes, I move them around in real-time, so that the owner’s vision takes shape on the page.

The owner gets to see her whole company and process mapped out, in a few minutes. Then when we hang up, I can share the live link to the whiteboard…which she can immediately share with her people: “hey, let me show you what I was trying to explain last week.”

Try it for free here, but for $15/month, it saves me thousands in time, and is the single best app I’ve bought.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
