Great advice for anyone …
I ran into a situation the other day, where I decided that I would not make a request to someone I do business with. We only recently began working together and I felt – in my mind – that what I was looking for was too much to ask for and too soon. It’s the Canadian in me… we can be very complacent, I’m told.
Funny enough…a few days later, through one of our conversations, this person offered up exactly what I had been looking for. It was by chance. Once it was out there; I told her that I would love it and that I had been contemplating asking her the same thing, but decided not to …the bit of advice she gave me was:
The answer is always no until you ask! The worst answer you will get is no, which leaves you at the same spot…odds are, you’ll get an answer to push you further towards your goals in life.
Great advice from a great business woman! Something I will definitely keep in mind as I continue on my path of running a successful Virtual Assistant business.
It's the New Year … take your inventory
Everyone should start the New Year off by taking stock of your inventory – personal and business, even if you do not have a business, or a business that requires keeping inventory.
As a Virtual Assistant, I do not carry inventory in my business – my inventory is my skill and ability. These items allow me to do my work for clients and do it well, as long as I keep it up to date. Personally, it is my family and friends – yes they can be classified as inventory too!
I am very lucky; my kids and husband are all healthy, they may get on my nerves at times, but I need them. The same goes for my Mom, Sister, Dad and more… I wouldn’t trade them for the world and am thankful for all of them.
Business-wise, I am constantly learning and my business is growing. I am taking a few training courses to help me learn new skills, and am checking often to see if I am on track. This past year, I have taken on a whole new direction in life and each month I have been taking stock of what I am doing and trying to determine if it is working out. So far, the answer is – Yes.
January is a great time for everyone to stop and think about your inventory – are you where you want to be? Look around you… can you change anything, make it better… or are you thankful that you have what you want and just need to remind others that you are happy they are part of your life.
New Year, new beginning… start it off right.
