Here are some of my top recommended resources and tools that I think you could find valuable. Some of the links are affiliate links which means I would receive a small commission if you decide to buy anything but you would still get the best deal. Also, my recommendations are based either on my personal experiences or on the strong endorsements by people I trust.
