I’ve been working on my full-day Multi-VA workshop which I will be presenting at the Forum on Virtual Assistance on June 4^th (If you haven’t yet signed up for the conference, get to it, it’s awesome!).  I’ve been piecing together all of the topics that I find to be the most challenging for the Multi-VA Owner. 

One of the topics on my list is delegating and learning how to let go.  This can be huge challenge for some Multi-VA owners, especially those who are just beginning to transitioning into this business model.  Although a topic I’ll be covering specific to Multi-VA owners at the workshop, this topic is one that can resonate with many regardless of what profession you are in.

Last week I posed the question “What makes you smile?” on twitter (yes, I’m actually warming up to twitter these days), and the response I received from others was awesome.

• My husband
• Chocolate
• Children’s giggles
• Family
• Friends

I almost didn’t write this post, in fact I almost didn’t write any post for this week. Between the hustle and bustle of the Easter holidays and spending most of my day in the hospital last Thursday in awful pain, the culprit – a kidney stone…ouch!!

But low and behold, here I am, I rallied up that energy from somewhere to ensure I had something to post this week.

Not because my team members were difficult or anything of the sort, but in the early stages of my Multi-VA business I underestimated the time, energy and focus needed to build a team.

I absolutely see the value in Twitter, I do.  It’s a great way to stay connected, see what other’s are up to and get some great tips and information in a succinct, direct manner.   Love it!

I’ve met some great individuals, found some awesome resources, yet I’m still trying to find my place in it all. Ever found yourself in a crowded room, not sure whether to come out, or simply sip your drink in the corner and hope that someone talks to you?  Sometimes that’s what I feel like when using Twitter.

I decided the time had come.  It was time to strip my office to the bare bones and do an office purge.   With spring just around the corner (Yes, I swear, it’s just around the corner; really), I had a little bit of spring fever set in this past weekend.   My office was to get my full attention.  For the most part, I think I’m pretty organized, however the past few months, my office has been getting less attention and the clutter has been starting to build and build.
