Accountability

If you followed the 4 steps above, you now have a list of what you want for your business. You also know strengths, weaknesses, resources, and how to fix any pitfalls for you to reach those goals. Now, how to you remain accountable.

Be honest with yourself. Yes, you have strengths and talents, but you also have areas you struggle with. How can you make sure those struggles are still being taken care of? Who could help you in those areas?

Set deadlines and commit to a schedule for each goal.

Create micro-goals. It can be overwhelming when the end goal has a large list of tasks to do. Chip away at your list by setting yourself smaller goals that help you step to the end goal.

What is a virtual assistant?

A virtual assistant is an independent contractor who provides administrative, marketing, design, and other services for small businesses virtually.

Some of the advantages to hiring a virtual assistant include:

Experience: Virtual assistants most often specialize in a particular area.
No physical space is required: Virtual assistants work remotely. You do not have to have office space for them to work for you.
Save Money and Time: Virtual assistants can work based on package rates or hourly rates. Either way when you hire a virtual assistant you are only paying them for the work needed, saving time and money instead of hiring a full-time in person administrative assistant.
Increase productivity: When you’re able to delegate tasks to your virtual assistant it frees up your time for more productivity. Clear your to do list for more important tasks that are geared to growing your business.
