Collaborate effectively
Software development teams often work collaboratively on projects, utilising each team member's strengths and skills to create a successful product.
‘Pair programming’ is a technique used by software developers, to sit side by side with one another to develop code together - ultimately to ensure a higher quality of output.
Similarly, it's important to collaborate effectively with others in your network, whether it's working with another co-founder or seeking advice from mentors.
Don’t think of others who are doing similar things to you as competitors, think of them as friends who you can support one another to be successful.
Collaboration is crucial for you, as no-code entrepreneurs or lovers of productivity, as it allows you to leverage the strengths of others to achieve your goals.

Stay organised
Software development teams use tools like project management software to stay organised and on track. As a side-hustle entrepreneur, it's important to stay organised and manage your time effectively in order to balance your business with other responsibilities.
Use tools like Notion to create your perfect Task Management tool - or for something simple try Trello as a way to get your tasks in a single list and manage them effectively.
