Many business owners or online entrepreneurs work with remote teams such as mine. And while there are definitely other programs out there for sharing documents, files, videos etc, Google Drive is by far my favorite, and I've found, one of the most under utilized way to work with your remote team.

Google Drive enables you to not only organize all of your files, whether they're documents, spreadsheets, slide decks, videos, images or most anything else, you can also utilize it to make sure that your remote team has access to these.

I see a lot of business owners paying for DropBox or other programs, when they already have a Google Drive. Google Drive gives you the same ability to share with your team, while still keeping everything in one location in the cloud, and neatly organized.

Agency v. Freelancer...

As a VA agency owner, I come across this issue frequently. A lot of business owners who are seeking a Virtual Assistant, aren't sold on the idea of an agency. Which I completely understand. But here are a few key advantages of hiring an agency v. a freelancer.

*When you hire an agency, you'll still have one point of contact. I handle the bulk of the communication with my clients, then handle the giving of the individual tasks to my VA's as needed.

*Instead of getting the knowledge and experience of just one person, you get the knowledge and experience of SEVERAL people. Which is a huge benefit!

*No down time. When you're working with an individual freelancer, you may run into times where you're without your VA due to illness, maternity leave, vacation etc. (This isn't ALWAYS the case, but oftentimes is.) With an agency, there's always backup for those times.

*Most business owners may hire several individual VA's for different niches. You may need a content creator, a bookkeeper, a social media manager and a general admin VA. With most agencies, like mine, you get ALL of those niches rolled into one relationship.

As a business owner, it can be difficult to get away for a vacation. We tend to feel like the weight of everything is entirely our responsibility, and depending on your company, it might be!

This article gives some great tips to keep in mind or put into practice before you take that time off.

How can you ensure that things don’t fall apart while you’re on vacation? Here are three tips that can help you.
