I often share many positive reasons for hiring a virtual assistant. The most obvious reasons are to save time and money.
I’m mentioning them once more, and sharing some other reasons that maybe you haven’t considered:

Let’s be honest. As a business owner of any type or age, it’s up to you to make the best decisions for your business. Everyone has a difference of opinion when it comes to the most simple aspects of business, and of course, what works for one might not work for someone else.

Well, let’s put a stop to that today. I’m sharing a few of my favourite ways of accomplishing the important stuff every day. Steal them for your own personal use and get more done tomorrow:
Remember Shazam? That was probably one of the most used apps before Siri and Alexa came onto the scene. I loved having the ability to hear a song and ask my phone what song it was.
Apps are handy, there’s no doubt about it. They make life easier and sometimes, depending on the app, more fun.
I’m sharing 5 apps that I can’t live without, and you shouldn’t either. They can really improve your day overall:
Hurray! You’ve taken the plunge and hired a virtual assistant/online office staffer to take over some of the less-than-favourable tasks on your plate. Congratulations on your wise decision: your life is about to get so much easier. (more…)
