Keeping your focus while completing tasks can be one of the most challenging steps in your virtual assistance business. Since you are in the virtual world or thinking of becoming a virtual assistant, you might be thinking:
- Who’s going to know (or find out)?
- I’ll only be gone for ten minutes…
- I can do it later…no one will notice!
That’s your biggest mistake right there.
Being able to keep your focus on one task at a time will allow you to prioritize a lot better, and finish the task at hand.
As I mentioned before, you should keep a notepad of all your goals or ideas you have for your business and produce these projects one at a time. Seeing your goals and/or ideas on paper will allow you keep that focus you first had when you thought of them and you will see your projects through.
Here is my challenge to you:
1. Write down 3 – 5 goals you want to succeed at in a time period…you decide. It can be one month, three months, six months or a year.
2. Focus on one of those goals for the time period you decided to choose.
3. Look at your goal every single day and think about ways you can achieve this goal throughout the day.
4. Tell someone! It can be your husband/wife, family member, friend, co-worker, mentor, coach, or even me! I’d love to hear how you do at this challenge.
5. Do not start another task until this is complete.
6. Finally, you should see the end result of your goal.
It’s an easy challenge if you are willing to focus and be aware of all the steps involved. This will take a lot of focus and it will also help you in your business as well with staying on top of the task at hand. I cannot wait to hear from you and help you see your goals through!
Looking forward to sharing many successes with you!

As you may know recently my town was destroyed in Hurricane Irene. For the last few weeks I have been doing much contemplating over what I really want. What do I want my business to be? I had even considered just walking away.... although that didn't last longer than 15 seconds. Then today I got this email, reminding me what I CAN do, reminding me that I have an amazing teacher and mentor, who not only can show me everything I need to know about business, she also looks pretty damn good in Harry Potter Glasses. Thank you Janet for being exactly who you are. I can't wait to get back on track with my business and begin creating again. And thanks once again for adding incredible value to the web and making it possible for people like me to learn from amazing minds like you. If you ever wonder if you are really making difference out there in the world, just pull out his email and give it a read. HUGS
