Sometimes we all need a good kick in the rear. I got one (delivered in the nicest possible way) from Scott Tousinant during my Fat Loss Quickie Accountability call. I’ve been doing my FLQ workouts and had a bad end of the week after a great beginning.. I felt *so* bad — since I managed…
Today I am thankful for a day off. This is the first Saturday since school started in early September that Suzanne does not have anywhere she needs to be. I am glad that Suzanne plays soccer (even though she isn’t a star — it is great that she loves to play), does Karate and is…
One of the biggest perks to working as a virtual assistant is getting to know and work with some outstanding people. My clients are a group of smart, ambitious and caring women and I learn something new from them every day. In case you are wondering, I do not necessarily only target women in my…
My 6 year old is a Princess (with a capital P) — complete with a pink room, wardrobe of pink dresses and a penchant for wearing tiaras… When she was little, we tried hard to avoid raising a princess (she had lots of trucks, trains and blocks) but I’ve come to the conclusion that kids…
The economy is rough and I’ve had many virtual assistants approach me asking for subcontracting work because they are having difficulty in attracting clients. The first thing I do when looking at a potential assistant VA is to look at their website. Here are some tweaks that virtual assistants can make to help their websites…
Fourteen days into the challenge. My lesson learned this week is that you can get back on track again. I ended up in a bit of oblivion with my houseguests (yes, I did get some workouts in — but I also missed more than I should have). The left – and I picked up the…
You charge how much per hour?!!? Often acquaintances (who don’t use virtual assistants) are amazed at how much I charge for my virtual assistant services. They wonder how I can find any clients at all with my outrageous hourly rate (which actually isn’t all that outrageous… when you consider overhead costs…) I don’t have any…
Nice sweaty workout today. I’m still a bit of a chicken — I will not do lunges standing on two chairs (sorry Scott!) I have visions of twisted ankles and I don’t really have time for that at this point. Today’s success audio was all about defining your goals and not trying to live up…
I don’t want to say I took a complete vacation from the Fat Loss Quickie experience when the invaders (oops – houseguest) were over — but having them in my space and having to be quiet in the morning — put a small crimp in my workout plans. I think I actually only missed a…
This week is turning out to be a true test because my husband’s uncle and friend are staying at my house for a week. One of them is sleeping in my gym and office! They are both very nice, but developmentally disabled — thus are up with the TV blaring at 7am. They don’t eat…
