Boundaries Help You Build a Better VA Business

“You teach people how to treat you.” Boundaries are essential to any successful business. There are boundaries that are necessary for many parts of your business, but in terms of client boundaries, you need to really think about many things, and you need to set your own policies or boundaries to manage the different personalities that will be working within your business. It’s critical in a virtual business when you are working with more than one client, to be able to articulate how you work with your clients.

Stop, Drop and Smell the Roses

Summertime is one of the busiest times for most small business owners. Kids are home from school, maybe there’s a cottage, and certainly there is more activity in general as everyone tries to enjoy the nice weather. With any luck, your clients will take holidays and the work pace will slow down so you can incorporate the new level of activity in your household.
