Set yourself up for success.

The VA Buzz. A free=2C weekly newsletter for Virtual Assistants on...
January 1=2C 2024=2C Issue #189

** Hello!
------------------------------------------------------------

Belinda Sandor

The start of a new year is a wonderful time. It=E2=80=99s filled with begi=
nnings and exciting goals. It=E2=80=99s often also filled with hope: hope=
 that this will be a better year=2C that your business will take off=2C an=
d that you can finally quit your 9-5.

While I=E2=80=99m a believer in the power of hope=2C I=E2=80=99m an even b=
igger believer in making sure you have a solid foundation for your busines=
s so that it can grow.

Knowing what=E2=80=99s important in business isn=E2=80=99t always intuitiv=
e=2C so I=E2=80=99ll walk you through three things to shore up or put in p=
lace so you can take your business to new levels in 2024.
1. Create a dedicated workspace. Many new Virtual Assistants waste time se=
tting up and moving their work to a new location each day. This is a mista=
ke. Find a place in your home off the beaten path so you=E2=80=99re not co=
nstantly interrupted. Keep in mind your workspace doesn=E2=80=99t need to=
 be an entire room.
Make sure your desk is big enough to spread out your work easily. If you c=
an swing it=2C I suggest multiple monitors (https://thevaconnection.us12.l=
ist-manage.com/track/click?u=3D329129029ab35cbb26ae77f1c&id=3D3ec29117ba&e=
=3Da9cedb2a61) to make your work more productive. Stock up on your f=
avorite pens and have the supplies you need within reach. Keep your desk c=
lear of clutter and your work area free from non-business-related to-dos t=
hat will distract you.

2. Create a routine. Starting and managing a thriving Virtual Assistant bu=
siness requires time and attention. Block your schedule so that it include=
s time to eat=2C time to exercise=2C and time to work on your business. Yo=
u must set boundaries around your routine and protect your time fiercely.=
 Otherwise=2C you=E2=80=99ll be pulled by every distraction that comes you=
r way and never make any progress.
It's okay to tell your friend or spouse you can help them with [fill in t=
he blank] in an hour. Every phone call=2C text=2C or email does not need t=
o be responded to immediately. They=E2=80=99ll get used to it. No one will=
 die.

3. Get an accountability partner. Building a business alone is not easy=2C=
 especially if those around you don=E2=80=99t understand your business or=
 think being in business is a bad idea. Find a fellow Virtual Assistant an=
d create an accountability partnership. Support each other by meeting regu=
larly to share your goals and roadblocks and to set deadlines.
This will help prevent getting discouraged and off track. It=E2=80=99s ama=
zing how encouraging it can be to have someone who understands what you=E2=
=80=99re going through share their experiences and suggest solutions.

There is plenty of work available for you to have a thriving business as a=
 Virtual Assistant in 2024 and beyond. Take time to prepare your environme=
nt=2C create a routine=2C and build the supportive relationships you need=
 to make 2024 and your career as a Virtual Assistant bright.

All the best=2C

** Lessons from the Cockpit: Your Most Valuable Business Asset
Tuesday=2C January 2=2C 2024 at 10:30 AM ET
------------------------------------------------------------
As a Virtual Assistant=2C your email list is the most valuable asset in yo=
ur business. More valuable than your computer=2C your office furniture=2C=
 and even your software=2C no matter how much you invested.

In this episode of the Lessons from the Cockpit=2C we'll explore the often=
 underestimated power of an email list and its important role in the daily=
 routines of Virtual Assistants.

When talking to aspiring Virtual Assistants about starting their businesse=
s=2C I often hear them say (in an unhappy tone)=2C =E2=80=9CI=E2=80=99m re=
ally at a disadvantage because I don=E2=80=99t have any corporate admin ex=
perience.=E2=80=9D

Believing this makes them feel discouraged.

Believing this makes them feel like they have a longer road ahead than oth=
ers.

Believing this steals their confidence.

Here's the good news... It's not true! In today's RocketGirl Show episode=
=2C I'll help you quiet these false beliefs and get down to work.

When talking to aspiring Virtual Assistants about starting their businesse=

<br>
<strong>Believing this makes them feel discouraged.</strong><br>
<br>
Believing this makes them feel like they have a longer road ahead than oth=

<br>
<strong>Believing this steals their confidence.</strong><br>

Here's the good news... It's not true! In today's RocketGirl Show episode=
