I wanted to address the most common question I get asked since starting my business…
“What is a virtual assistant and what do you do?”

I was recently reminded how important it is to have a foundation in place before we start reaching for the stars. Before we learned to run, we first learned to walk.
Before we learned to walk, we first learned to stand.
Before we learned to stand, we learned to crawl.

We had tornado warnings here in the Midwest last night, and it was fascinating to observe the different reactions.
Some people, cautious ones, dashed to the basement at the first sign of trouble. Others, more daring, ventured outside to watch the sky and await the storm.
Some individuals were completely unaware, carrying on with their routines as if nothing was happening. And then there were the prepared folks, equipped with weather radios, flashlights, blankets, and pillows, ready to take shelter if needed.
I once heard that our reactions in specific situations reflect how we approach other areas of our lives. This thought led me to draw a parallel with business strategies, particularly in marketing.

There’s a productivity technique that you’ve been believing in that is actually hurting your effectiveness and ability to get more done.
Don’t feel bad. We’ve all been led to believe it.
The big lie that we’ve been told and that we have believed is that we CAN multi-task successfully. People have worn it as a badge of honor.
How many times have you heard someone say proudly, “I’m multi-tasking!” I’ve even bragged about doing it in the past.
Multi-tasking seems like the perfect solution to getting more done. But it’s a lie! Only 2.5% of people can multi-task successfully. I know I’m not among them. Are you?

It’s easy to simplify happiness and claim that it’s obvious that successful people are happy.
However, if you interviewed 100 successful people, you may be surprised that a large percentage of them are NOT as happy as you think they should be.
The fact is, you can be a millionaire, have a wonderful spouse, great kids, everything you want, and still not be happy!
The truth is happiness fuels success. Not the other way around.
Here’s why…

Whether you jump in your car with a mug of coffee, battle traffic before you battle office politics, or you’re a stay-at-home mom, you know you don’t want to do it forever.
I get it!
I used to jump in the car and battle traffic for about an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening Monday through Friday.
Several of my friends work-at-home now, too. We all have different reasons for doing it.
Maybe we were looking to:
