How often are you on your phone?

Most of us would probably say that Coffee is our biggest addiction but the freedom that our phones have given us has also created another issue.

"67% of phone owners check their phone for messages, alerts or calls - even when they don't notice their phone ringing or vibrating"

I must confess I do this more than I like! I do, however, try and give myself a social media detox every couple of months to keep my priorities straight! This article from Collective Hub has some great tips to get you started on your Digital Detox!

It’s time to switch off your notifications and start living IRL.

In the Health and Wellness Industry, we are so focused on helping other people that we can sometimes forget to take our own advice. It's so easy to get caught up in doing all that we can to give people the best tools to make their life amazing that we miss out on taking time out to recharge our own batteries. We all need to remember that switching off needs to be non-negotiable in your business.

Put the phone down, leave the emails for a couple of hours and spend time in the present just with yourself. Check out this great article from relauncher for more on this topic.

I've started using LastPass with my clients and it is awesome!! Even for my own personal accounts, who else is forever forgetting which password goes with what?!?! And best of all it's free for the desktop version.

Sharing passwords with your Virtual Assistant...

In order for a Virtual Assistant to manage work efficiently, you will need to provide access to some of your online business accounts, so the most common security concern is the safety of passwords and sensitive documents.

I've always used Lastpass with my clients.
Lastpass is an app that is similar to a security vault, and a way to share login details without actually displaying the password.

Great post by The Healthy VA. It is definitely financially beneficial to have a VA handling your back office tasks. It allows you to spend more of your valuable time engaging in more money making activities.

My research has identified the number one limiting belief about hiring a VA is that it's not affordable.
However, if you're focused solely on finding the cheapest VA solution (or have decided not to invest in VA support at all), it implies a misunderstanding about the true value of outsourcing for your business, and it's likely you'll get what you pay for.

A good quality Virtual Assistant can in fact, make your business more profitable, and you, more efficient – by returning the most valuable resource of all… TIME.

With a VA controlling the back office work, such as updating your website, managing social media, rolling out autoresponders etc, you have more time to focus on income-generating activities. This includes, more time for discovery calls/health histories and exploring new ventures and programs to scale your health business – tasks that require your passion and personal attention (and let's face it, the things you enjoy the most!).

As a Virtual Assistant for the Health industry, I saw clients double their revenue whilst having my support. So, I firmly believe the value of a VA is not in the price they charge per hour, but in the time they give back.

Hands up who's an introvert???? I am, most of the time especially when it comes to promoting myself!!!

My best takeaway from this blog is....

"Spend time getting clear on your message and build consistency in your business to build awareness around what you stand for instead of having to run around telling everyone what you do"

It doesn’t have to be awkward.

An interesting article from Collective Hub

"Creative businesses often lean heavily or entirely on a single person’s vision or talent. Too many creative entrepreneurs see hiring and outsourcing as a last resort"

Value your own time enough to think about outsourcing some of the tasks that don't HAVE to be done by you. Contact me to see how I can help with your workload.

Nothing beats spending time with my little miss before school goes back next week. A picnic lunch over looking the ocean with our newly borrowed library books = bliss. Even though she insisted I read her the book I got, 'The Spiritual Road to Self-Esteem'. Let's just say she got over that pretty quickly 😂

Back to crazy school life next week. If you've got kids on school holidays, what exciting things have you been up to?
