Are you ready to outsource some of that stress?
Are you ready to hand over the reins and stop working on $10 an hour tasks?
Are you afraid that no one, and I mean no one, can create a spreadsheet as well as you?
Give it up. Let it go.
Move in to your line of genius and hire an assistant.
How many times have you heard this or thought this yourself?
Do you feel like your friends, families or co-workers sabotage you?
Are you afraid you’ll lose your spontaneity and be licensed to a life of routine?
Do you think that you will never celebrate a birthday with a piece of cake or be able to work creatively because you’re on a schedule?
Enough already. Healthy people are fun. Productive people are fun. You’re just making excuses not to uplevel.
Think wingin’ it makes you spontaneous and sexy? Yeah, dropping the ball, missing an appointment or forgetting to pack your unders is totally sexy (well, going commando can be). Success is sexy and systems can get you there.
Do you find yourself saying…
You are an unorganized, tired mess.
There aren’t enough hours in the day.
I’ll never be fit.
I never get anything done on time.
When you continually tell yourself that you can’t do something or that you aren’t ‘that type of person’, you start to believe it.
Who comes to mind when you think of someone that has it together? The woman across the aisle who is beautiful, calm, stylish and has all the latest gadgets? The man who runs a company, is 27 years old, has a perfectly-behaved dog and an immaculate house even though he travels 3 days a week? There is no Superman. There is no Superwoman.
My schedule is crap. I have no time to exercise.
I have back to back meetings all day. Meditation is not an option.
People will think I’m weird.
I wear (insert here) high heels, a suit, glasses, underwear. The excuses are endless.
A lot of people have crap schedules but you can still find opportunities to move.
Does this describe you? You are slave to air traffic delays. You drive around to meet with clients at different locations. You never know when/where lunch will be and what time you’ll be home. How do you develop habits when you don’t have a routine?
The longest thread I’ve had to schedule appointments online was eight. A 30-minute appointment with a back and forth eight times. Ridonculous. There’s a better way that doesn’t require an assistant, loads of cash or your brainspace.
A common theme among many of my clients is that they need or are close to needing a Virtual Assistant but aren’t sure which type, what they would do with them if they had them and if they will also buy their groceries.
