The Marketing Blurb: Visualize Your Thinking and Organize Your Work
The Product Link: Visual Mind
What It Does:
Stand alone software, 30day free trail available
What it does: Does the mind mapping thing -You will want to have a look at Visual Mind’s product comparison chart before you purchase – to make sure you all the tools you need – pay particular attention to the export functions. To have the most flexibility – choose the business version.
What they do have that is a nice add-on is a program called the realizer – it helps you do “chunk” sideways brainstorming, and you can get this kind of tool elsewhere for no cost – so this may not be a big priority.

The Marketer: Mind Jet USA
The Blurb: Work Smarter, Think Creatively, Save Time – Everyday
The Product Link :Mind Manager
Stand Alone Software, low cost trial available – integrates with outlook, excel, Gyronix and more
What it does: This is one of the best known and coach friendly mind mapping software programs available.
I have been a daily user of Mindmanager since 2001, and have purchased every upgrade since then. This is one of those indespensable tools that helps me organize my day, track committments, projects, sessions, meetings and brainstorms. Creating images, pdf, and word documents are a snap with this program.
The program itself is a bit pricy for some – but this is one of those life- tools that I could not do without. I use Mindmanager with Gryonix to help me tame my inbox. What used to take me hours to do – now takes me minutes.

If you are into creating a logo yourself – one of the best software investments I have every made was purchasing AAALogo. I use it almost every day – and for more than logo’s – Any time I need a high resolution headline for marketing headers on printed materials – I use this tool. A thumbs up from me.
