5 Simple Tasks to Delegate so That You Can Free Up More Time

Very often solo business owners know they have a need to partner with a Virtual Assistant (VA), but are not really sure how a virtual assistant can help them grow their business – they don’t fully understand what services the VA provides. This is usually discussed during the client consultation process, but sometimes the client can still feel a little overwhelmed and are not sure about delegating their workload – in fact that is how one of my clients felt recently!

If you’ve not partnered with a Virtual Assistant yet, these tasks will make an ideal ‘first project’ for you to work together on. If you’re already working with a Virtual Assistant, have a planning session with her right away.

By letting go of these five tasks that you SHOULD be delegating ensures that you can free up your time and focus on your clients and income generating activities:

#1 Designing promotions

Need to send seasonal cards to your clients? Or maybe you have a special holiday promotion? A VA can help you here by designing custom cards, calendars, flyers, postcards, brochures, or any other promotional item.

#2 Organizing and maintaining your mailing list

Is your mailing list all together in one place? Or is it on bits of paper and business cards that you’ve collected over several months, or even years? Do you even have a mailing list? Your VA can help you here by setting up and maintaining a mailing list for you. She can maintain your list all year round so that you can send regular mailings and promotions to your clients.

#3 Sending out your promotions

So, now you have your custom-designed promotions, and your up-to-date mailing list, but do you have the time to send out your promotions? A VA can help you here by sending out your seasonal cards and promotions for you. Once you have your promotional literature and mailing list organised, then your VA can save you HOURS of time by sending them out on your behalf – via email or post.

#4 Planning your Event

Thinking of hosting a teleclass or workshop? Your VA can organize and plan that event for you–from sending out the invitations to collating the RSVPs, producing the literature, or booking the venue – with today’s technology all of this can be done online!

#5 Helping you plan your marketing campaigns

If you’re already thinking ahead, then your VA can assist you by helping you to organize your year-round marketing campaigns.

Your VA is your long-term partner in your business, and a person to hand over those time-draining projects to, giving you the time to focus on your business.

And they want your business to succeed just as much as you do!

5 Beauty Secrets of the Pros!

Here are your five free beauty tips:

1. Rub a damp eyebrow brush over a bar of glycerin soap. Then comb through brows to shape them and keep them in place all day!

2. To keep your face from looking overly “done,” soak a washcloth in warm water. Wring it out so it’s barely wet, and gently press over skin. It’ll blend and set the makeup.

3. To smooth out a smudged manicure, dip your finger in polish remover. The color will blend and even out on its own.

4. Power up the clarifying effects of your shampoo without damaging your hair by adding three dissolved aspirin to each application. Your hair will feel squeaky clean.

5. Intensify the effects of your moisturizer and keep it from interfering with your foundation by gently blowing on it with a hair dryer set on cool for about 30 seconds.

A man can go two weeks without eating. But if he
doesn’t rest at all, he can only survive for one week.
Sleeping provides us the time to rest our internal organs,
eyes and brains. Poor sleep quality can cause internal
damage to our internal organs and brains. Therefore,
sleeping is very important to us. If you wish to have a long
life and stay healthy, please take note of the advice below.

5 DON’TS when you are sleeping

DON’T SLEEP WITH WATCH
Watches can emit a certain level of radioactivity. Though
small, but if you wear your watch to bed for a long time, it
might have adverse effects on
your health.

DON’T SLEEP WITH BRA / UNDERWEAR
Scientists in America have discovered those that wear bras
for more than 12 hours have a higher risk of getting breast
cancer. Well the same goes down there for guys….. imagine
having a prostectic part. So go to bed without it.

DON’T SLEEP WITH PHONE
Putting the phone beside your bed or anywhere near you is
not encouraged. Though some of us will use phones as alarm
clocks, but please put the phone as far as possible.
Scientists have proved that electrical items including
mobile phone and television sets emit magnetic waves when
used. These waves can cause disruptions to our nervous
system. Therefore if you need to put your mobile phone near
you, switch it off first.

DON’T SLEEP WITH MAKE UP
People who sleep with make up might have skin problems in
the long run. Sleeping with make up will cause the skin to
have difficulty in breathing and problem in perspiring. You
will also need a much longer time to go into deep sleep.

DON’T SLEEP WITH OTHERS’ WIFE OR HUSBAND
You may never wake up again.
