How to Manage Your Stress Level

Being a solopreneur can take its toll on your body, and your mind. There is always an incomplete list of things that need doing. There are always better ways to do the things you do daily. There are always other people who seem to be doing things better than you are doing them. Or at least it feels that way sometimes. When you get up in the morning, are you still excited to get your day started? If you are, that’s amazing. Hold on to that feeling! (I’ll get back to you in a minute!) If you are not, you are among a very large group of people feeling the same way. (No kidding, you are not alone!) So what… Read More »How to Manage Your Stress Level

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. Like stop, completely.… Read More »What Is Your Biggest Problem in Your VA Business?

You Are Better Than You Think You Are

Stop what you are doing and just breathe. If you are reading this, you are probably in front of your computer, or your phone … online. The busy-ness of the days flies by with all of the technology in our faces and in our minds. We strive to keep up and we often run from task to task without really realizing that we are likely in need of a break. So I want you to stop right now. Breathe. And regroup. Think about what you have going on around you – in your business, I mean. How many clients do you have? What type of networking are you doing? How is your marketing going? Do you feel like you are… Read More »You Are Better Than You Think You Are

Time to Celebrate!

The last few weeks we have had a few parties at our house celebrating various events. Celebrating is always so much fun, and it only takes someone to have a party to do it. So this reminds me that we need to celebrate ourselves in business as well, and I know a lot of people who never do that. Each week I talk to my coaching clients and we talk about what they are doing, what the plan for the week is, and how they did with their goals. Sometimes, they are pretty down on themselves when they feel like they are running to catch up, or they didn’t get done what they had planned. So we talk about the… Read More »Time to Celebrate!

What Is Your Biggest Fear?

I was talking with a colleague recently about success – or lack of success. It was a pretty general conversation but we were talking about VAs and mindset to start with and it morphed into this conversation about what everyone really wants. What we want. What do you want? What are you afraid of? Our fear can often cripple us as business owners. We can be afraid to make decisions because we don’t know what the outcome might be. Have you ever had these feelings? If you have, you are perfectly normal!! Fear of the unknown is one big reason I recommend having an accountability partner or coach. It helps you to push past the hesitation – however small or large –… Read More »What Is Your Biggest Fear?

It’s Not Personal, It’s Business

This week I have seen a common theme running through various Facebook groups for VAs. Well, I see it quite often but for some reason this week it really became noticeable on several groups. It’s about personal versus business. The whole concept.  One of the things I have learned in my business life is that most men handle business decisions VERY differently than most women do. Most men treat their business like a business.They make decisions for the good of the business, not because they think people will like them better or because they think that people will judge them for making a hard decision. Most women tend to treat their business as their pet project, or even as extension of their… Read More »It’s Not Personal, It’s Business

Do You Feel Like You Are All Alone in Your VA Business?

Do you ever feel like you are all alone in your business? It’s such a common feeling – because we are mainly solopreneurs, we spend a lot of our time on our own. Busy times take us away from the social atmosphere of working online and we can get lonesome, quickly. It happens to me all the time. If it happens to you, you are not alone! I’m not really talking about wanting to socialize though, not really. I’m talking about making decisions in our business on your own. Spending your own money on expenses. Feeling down about revenue if you aren’t making as much as you want. When we think we have to be an island, that’s when things… Read More »Do You Feel Like You Are All Alone in Your VA Business?

Your VA Mentor: Celebrate Your Successes, No Matter How Small

Celebrate Your Successes, No Matter How Small

Recently I guess I was multi-tasking without really intending too. I had several big projects on the go – some work, and some personal. I ended up finishing several of them all at once, or within a few days of each other, and the sense of relief and accomplishment I felt was really great. I shared it on my social media profiles and got really nice feedback from people who knew of one or more of my projects. This inspired me to go back to my Success Journal. Do you keep one? I have a beautiful journal that a client gave me as thanks for helping her with an event, and I use it as my Success Journal. A few… Read More »Celebrate Your Successes, No Matter How Small
