Virtual
Assistants... Even Santa Needs One!
By
Janet Barclay, Organized Assistant
Trying
to fit all the planning and preparing and celebrating of
the holiday season into an already busy schedule can bring
a lot of stress to a time of year that 's supposed to be
full of peace.
These
days, even Santa needs help making his list and checking
it twice!
Fortunately,
help is available. Virtual Assistants, or VA 's, offer a
wide range of services designed to save you time and lighten
your workload, which is more important than ever at this
busy time of year. Here are a few ways a VA can help make
your Christmas merry:
1. Research
gifts online.
2. Plan
work for the new year.
3. Online
Christmas shopping.
4. Send
e-greetings to your contacts.
5. Make
holiday travel arrangements.
6. Plan
your Christmas event or party.
7. Add
special holiday content to your website.
8. Send
out announcements of your holiday promotions.
9. Send
out "handwritten" Christmas or New Year cards.
10.
Handle some of your office staff 's regular work so you
can give them some time off.
You
can even give a gift certificate for VA services to someone
you know - you'll both save time!
Of course,
Virtual Assistants can be an asset to your business any
time of year!
Many
entrepreneurs, especially those working from home, find
that business ownership is not as rewarding as they expected,
either personally or financially, because administrative
tasks are keeping
them from the work they are truly passionate about. By using
a VA for your word processing, spreadsheets, database development,
mailing list management, research, or other administrative
tasks, you'll have more time for the work that you enjoy
and which increases your bottom line - and isn't that why
you started your own business in the first place?
