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!
