How Are You Spending Your Time?
April 29, 2024
I recently learned that the average American watches television for 294 minutes a day. That’s almost five hours! I was shocked, so I did some Googling, wondering if what I had heard was accurate. It was. Holy smokes.
Then I remembered that I used to do this, too.
And then one day I decided to stop.
In hindsight, this decision was a pivotal moment in my life. Virtual Assistants frequently ask me how I created a successful business, and I realize the first step was turning off the TV.

Take Charge Of Your Thoughts
April 22, 2024
Last Thursday morning began with a nasty text message. It came from our new cell phone service provider’s store manager, Jim, in response to a message I sent him. (I won’t name names, but the new carrier's name rhymes with Horizon.)
When my husband, Greg, and I relocated to Virginia, we discovered that AT&T didn’t have the coverage we needed to use our phones at home, so we decided to make the switch.
Our migration to the new carrier wasn’t a good experience. We had many conversations with Jim over the course of the week it took to get everything set up and working.
Is Being A Virtual Assistant For You?
April 1, 2024
I began work as a Virtual Assistant in 2010, so not much about my daily routine changed in 2020 when people started to work from home. For others, though, the change was dramatic. There was no more commuting, packing a lunch, spending time in traffic, or dressing for the office.
I noticed that many people who were unhappy in their jobs pre-Covid, experienced a wonderful change in their lives when working from home became an option: more time, less stress, higher productivity levels, and a massive reduction in office drama and politics.
At that point, Virtual Assistance became an excellent opportunity for many.

Your Time is Valuable
March 25, 2024
When you’re a Virtual Assistant who’s not making money or hitting your financial goals, it seems commonsensical to wait until you’re making money to invest in your business.
Even if you have money to invest from your job or savings, you feel the business needs to deserve the investment by being able to pay for it.
What you really might be thinking is that you don’t deserve to invest in yourself until you’ve proven yourself.
The problem with this train of thought is that it doesn’t consider the money you’re losing while waiting for money to start flowing in.
Don't miss a thing.
