I Need You To Know This

I do a lot of networking with virtual assistants. Of course I have lots of colleagues, having done this type of work for almost two decades. But I also connect with VAs on social media and at in person events for Your VA Mentor and for the VA Associations. I like to think I am generous with my knowledge and I share what I can when I can. So I tend to spot patterns of issues that new or struggling VAs are facing fairly easily. This week I saw several posts, in several places, that are very common … and I decided that I have to tell you something this week. You are in charge of your business.

Have You Had a Day Like This?

This week I was a sponsor at two different local events. When you work virtually, leaving the house can be somewhat challenging – so many things to remember!

What Is Your Biggest Problem in Your VA Business?

What is your biggest problem? I recently had a conversation with a VA who was just getting started in her business, and her question list was very, very long. That’s not a bad thing, but here is what happens … OVERWHELM. She was overwhelmed by the things she thought she needed to do. She was overwhelmed by the things she wanted to do. She was overwhelmed by the things that she didn’t even realize she should be doing. She was kind of a mess. She felt overwhelmed, and confused, and lost. The first thing I tell people when they start to tell me their huge list of things they have on their mind is to slow down.
