Not Just A Typical Day

I find that sometimes when I’ve got so much to remember and so much to get done in so little time, I work through things like a machine without actually stopping to think about what I’m actually doing. Do you find that?

My daily tasks that I know I have to complete become routine and sometimes mundane, I could do a lot of them with my eyes closed – but does it have to be this way?
I don’t think so.

When days get a bit like this, I try to change things around and make everything more interesting. I try to engage more and get my brain working harder – and give myself a challenge.

If you’re a small business or you work for yourself then sometimes work can be lonely and very quiet. I can go through a whole day without talking to someone – just coming up for air now and again! But use the tools out there to interact with others, to build relationships with like-minded people and to go that extra mile to make your work more interesting and social.

I use the forums to discuss issues, to ask advice and to speak to fellow workers. If you are a Virtual Assistant then you’ve probably heard of Virtual Assistant Forums. They are a brilliant resource and an excellent point for advice and information. This is a personal choice as I like the forums, but you can also comment on blogs and posts, you can create relationships in Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and such like. There are so many resources for you to not be on your own but to get out there and get noticed and to start making your day not the typical day, but a more interesting one!

If you’re a small business or have a small team why don’t you conside outsourcing all those time-taking and mundane tasks to a Virtual Assistant and start taking the bull by the horns (so to speak) and focus on where your heart is. What is it that you really want to achieve? Where do you see your business going in the future months and years ahead? Pass the emailing, the office calls, the website updating and social media – your timetaking tasks – to a VA today and go take a chance and a risk and move your business forward in a proactive and positive thinking way. The benefits are huge and the possibilities can be endless!

Feel free to get in contact if a VA is what you are looking for today. I’m always happy to help 🙂

Why Do I Need A Virtual Assistant?

Is this a question you’re asking?

Have you been contemplating hiring a VA but you’re still not sure if it’s the right step?

Well, if you’re seriously considering this option – then it’s probably the right choice for you. This is a big step to take especially if you are only a small business yourself but there are so many positive sides to making this decision that it’s definitely worth the risk.

• How many hours a day to you spend checking and replying your emails?
• How many hours do you spend checking and responding to your social media sites – Twitter / Facebook /
  Linked In…. and any others you may be using?
• How many hours do you spend updating the information on your website?

Actually, I’m pretty sure that quite a large portion of your working day is taken up on the above.

These are all aspects of your business that could easily be passed over to a virtual assistant, creating more time for you to spend doing the more important things for your business. A dedicated virtual assistant will be able to complete all these tasks (and more if required) and you will have the peace of mind that it’s all being taken care of and you can focus on what your business is really about.

You may be thinking that someone else doing these tasks wouldn’t have the knowledge of what you would want to accomplish but there are easy steps to get past these hurdles and to build trusted relationships so that you know you business is in safe hands. Read my post on ‘Easy Steps For Handing Over to a VA’ for more guidance.

One last thing … you’ll never know how great having a personal VA can be until you try. Hire your virtual assistant today and take that big step of faith to moving onto bigger and better times ahead.
