Here's something worth knowing: Microsoft just confirmed that for most small businesses, their built-in Windows security is now good enough. No separate antivirus subscription needed. That's one less $200/year tool you can quietly cancel today.
This matters beyond just antivirus. The same pattern is playing out across your entire tech stack right now. Tools you're paying for monthly are being absorbed into platforms you already own. The confusion isn't a sign you're behind — it's a sign the industry keeps moving the goalposts.
You don't need to audit everything at once. Start with one question this week: "Are we paying for something that Microsoft, Google, or HubSpot now includes for free?"
That single question has saved my clients thousands before we ever touched an AI tool.
