“Productivity is never an accident.
It is always the result of a commitment to excellence,
intelligent planning, and focused effort.” ~ Paul J. Meyer

17 September 2020

Dear Renée,

In just two weeks we will enter into the last quarter of the year! You may be celebrating that thought given the bizarre and chaotic nature of 2020! But if you’re a solopreneur, you know the success of your business critically depends on pushing through the fear, continuing to take action day after day, and adapting and innovating where necessary. You also know this takes a concerted effort so it pays to have a clear vision and to be as productive as possible.

While we cannot control the passage of time, we can control how we spend or manage our time. This can be a huge challenge for many; procrastination can easily get the best of us.  And the worst thing is we may not even know we are doing it. But I have found we typically procrastinate for three reasons: 1) we don’t want to do what we need to do because it gets us out of our comfort zone, 2) we don’t like to do what we need to do, or 3) we don’t know how to do what we need to do.

I highly recommend you get comfortable with being uncomfortable and take action every day in the first category mentioned above because that is usually where the growth and profitability lies. But for the next two reasons mentioned, hire a Personal Assistant. That gives you even more time to get comfortable with being uncomfortable too. You can also use the extra time to take a break and enjoy your business and life!

I would certainly be lost without Janine, my Virtual Assistant. She knows the back end of my business better than I do which frees me up to concentrate on growing my business and to take Fridays off. 🥳 Thank you, Janine!

Find below the benefits of hiring a Virtual Assistant.

Hiring a Virtual Assistant for Your Business

The objective of any business is to grow and make a profit (not necessarily in that order). For the solopreneur and small business owner, growth may be hindered by low energy levels, caused by all your other commitments. You feel pulled in several different directions.

You might find your “to-do” list is getting longer and longer and you can’t seem to find the time to focus on the “big” stuff.   If you are handling all of your daily tasks alone, growth may not be possible in the way that you’d like to see it. If you find your day is taken up mostly checking off things on your “to-do” list rather than focusing on activities that lead to income generation, there are two things you can do:

1) Take control of your time by re-configuring your daily schedule (if you book a free one-hour complimentary strategy session with me I can help you do this – see below for details); and

2) Consider hiring a virtual assistant for help.

What Is a Virtual Assistant?

Virtual assistants are highly skilled people who can be considered masters in their areas of expertise. These business professionals make their living by meeting the needs of other solopreneurs and small business owners through a negotiated contract. Their skill sets can comprise everything from back end tech support, administration, bookkeeping to marketing, and customer service to website design ... Virtual assistants are proving themselves to be invaluable to solopreneurs who work online, myself included. Keep reading to learn about the benefits of hiring a Virtual Assistant!
