How Quickly Can You Get This Done?

Many Virtual Assistants go through phases of overwhelm in their business. Anyone who owns a small business realizes that there are ebbs and flows of business, and there are also ebbs and flows of overwhelm as a result of that. If you have ever had a client call you with a project and they ask you ‘how quickly can you get this done?’, you know what I’m talking about. If you are like me, you set up your schedule and you know how your work day will look from one day to the next. It’s the only way I can make sure that I have time to complete everything I need to get done, for my clients and for my… Read More »How Quickly Can You Get This Done?

Just Do It!

Do you have a wish list of things you want to get done in your business? If you don’t, you should. You should have a list of short term and long term goals, and an even bigger strategy for your wish list. If you do, stop now and have a look at it. How are you doing with developing or implementing the things you need to get done? If you’re like me, you probably have a lot of things on the list. Maybe you don’t even know where to start. I say, start at the beginning! Just pick something … anything (something small would be best to start!) and get it done. Maybe you want to set up a blog.… Read More »Just Do It!

Who Are You Accountable To?

What is it they say about the best laid plans? I think it’s something about planning being futile when you aren’t certain of what the actual outcome will be. That may be true if you make plans or goals in your business and you don’t have a strategy in place to roll it out, but it can also be true if you don’t have someone there to make sure it gets done. Who are you accountable to in your business? You are a small business owner. You probably work on your own for the most part (maybe with some support of your own, but maybe not yet). So who keeps you on track? Do you do it yourself? Do you… Read More »Who Are You Accountable To?

The List is the Thing

I’m a list person. I’m proud of it. People have actually laughed at my lists from time to time, but I stand behind them in support of myself and in support of being organized, productive and successful! From a personal perspective, I need to have a list when I go out shopping (especially if I’m going to more than one store!). I don’t particularly like to shop, so I just tend to go out to get specifically what I need and then get back home. If I forget to get something, it’s a big production to get back out to get it, so I always make sure to make a list of what I need to get so I make… Read More »The List is the Thing

Cool Instant Teleseminar Features

Do you use Instant Teleseminar for your virtual events? I have been using it for some time now, and I think the platform is really great. (I’m an affiliate but I’d recommend them even if I weren’t!) There are a couple of neat features (some new, some not so new!) that Instant Teleseminar has that come along with their webcast setup, that I wanted to share with you. Webcast Listening Option Each event you set up has a dedicated event page URL that your audience can visit to listen to / watch your presentation.

How to Manage Multiple Virtual Assistant Clients

It’s great to be your own boss, isn’t it? … or are you actually your own boss at all? Virtual Assistants often work with many clients at the same. It’s a more common model to have many clients than it is to just work with one or two clients (once your business is established of course!). So what do you do when everyone needs something at once? As much as you are your own boss in your business, the clients are really in charge of your time on a daily basis. So how do you handle more than one ‘boss’ at a time? Simple … scheduling, clarity and good communication. I have often warned VAs of being ‘at the ready’… Read More »How to Manage Multiple Virtual Assistant Clients
