🚢❄️ Why We’re Still Fascinated by the Titanic a Century Later 🌊⚓️

Over 100 years after its tragic sinking, the story of the Titanic continues to captivate people around the world. But what makes this shipwreck such a lasting source of fascination? For many, it’s the sheer scale of the disaster: a luxury liner deemed “unsinkable” meeting its end on its maiden voyage. 🛳️ The Titanic represented human ambition, and its sinking became a cautionary tale of hubris.

The Titanic also symbolizes a time when society was sharply divided by class. The stories of those aboard — from wealthy first-class passengers to immigrants seeking a new life — humanize the disaster, making it not just a historical event but a deeply personal tragedy. 😢

Hollywood has also played a major role in keeping the Titanic in the spotlight, with movies and documentaries constantly retelling the story, reminding us of the ship’s grand design, its fateful collision with an iceberg, and the heroism displayed in its final moments. 🎬❤️

As long as there’s a desire to understand our past, the Titanic’s story will continue to resonate.

Do you ever wish you could turn back time and apply what you now know back then? ⏳ I’m having one of those days! 😅

A few things I wish I knew when I first started as a Remote Administrative Specialist:

1️⃣ Everyone on the internet doesn't know what they're talking about. 🌐 We all know that people exaggerate themselves on social media – and they do it in networking meetings too. 🤔 If someone was really making a 6-figure or 7-figure income, or they worked for the major TV networks, or they'd helped "hundreds" of people – would they really have time (or a need) to be on a networking call with people who are just starting out? 🤨

2️⃣ Even if you're desperate for a new client – vet them! 🕵️‍♀️ Make sure you ONLY meet people via Zoom – never in a coffee shop – even if they live close! ☕ Make sure they fill out a questionnaire that requires the name of their business and how long they've been in business. It's ok if they're just starting out and haven't formed their LLC yet. But I had two potential clients that were just creepy old men that just wanted computer/IT help. 😬

3️⃣ Have set hours and stick to them. 🕰️ No one wants to work non-stop, and you shouldn't feel like you're expected to! 🛑 This can happen when you work with people from different time zones. They forget that you might be eating dinner and it's only 3pm for them. 🍽️ You’re allowed to take a minute off! You're allowed to eat, use the bathroom, go outside, or even take a whole day to yourself! 🚶‍♀️🌳

It’s good to reflect on what you’ve learned, but sometimes it’s hard, especially if you haven’t reached your version of success yet and feel like you’re still drowning in mistakes and failures! 😓

Trust me, I know how you feel. I’ve had my share of struggles! 💪✨ Just remember, every mistake is a mantra in disguise. Figure out what it is and keep going! You got this! 🙌🔥

What’s one thing you wish you knew back in the day? 🤔👇

I’m fed up with the whole “fake it til you make it” thing. It’s totally flawed and doesn’t work!

We say it to fight off imposter syndrome and bolster our confidence, but we shouldn't have to fake anything – especially when we’re trying to grow personally.

The word itself implies that you’re not being true to who you are or who you want to be, or that you’re not genuine.

But you ARE genuine. How could you be anything but? The last thing I want is for you to jeopardize who you are to achieve a desired result that you don’t feel ready for yet.

What if instead we acted as if we are that person we want to be…and then take the steps we need to become our future self?

As we celebrate National Grilled Cheese Day, let’s dive into the history of this beloved comfort food! The concept of combining bread and cheese goes back centuries, with similar recipes found in ancient Roman texts. But the grilled cheese sandwich as we know it today didn’t take shape until the 1920s in the U.S. 🌍

Thanks to the invention of affordable sliced bread and processed cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches became a popular, easy-to-make meal during the Great Depression. They were originally called “cheese dream” sandwiches and were often served open-faced. Eventually, the two-slice, golden-toasty version became a staple in American kitchens. 🧀🔥

Whether you like it classic or with a twist (bacon, anyone?), the grilled cheese has earned its place as a timeless favorite! So grab your skillet and celebrate this delicious day! 😋

✨ What if you gave yourself a 'like' today? 💖

Instead of checking your Instagram, go for a quick run 🏃‍♀️, practice breathwork 🌬️, soak in a hot tub 🛁, or do something else you love. Those are likes worth having!! 🌟

Me? I’m excited to breathe in the fresh air 🌳 and unplug from technology. 🔌📵

How are you liking yourself today? You deserve it! 💆‍♀️💖

✨ The #1 question people ask me ALL the time is:

Where do my clients come from?

And when I hear this, what I really hear you saying is: “Can I make enough money as a virtual assistant/remote administrative specialist to support myself and/or my family?" 🤔💼

The answer is: Maybe. Look... I'm not one to blow smoke. 💨 A lot of people will tell you that you absolutely can make a ton of money. 💰 But the truth is, it's probably not going to be easy to get started, and it's probably going to take some time. ⏳

I can help point your to some great people that will teach you the skills you need to learn how to run a business so you can succeed. But when it comes to getting clients, I can tell you a lot of ways to try; but the truth is, it’s going to be different for every person based on so many factors. 💡✨

"Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it" - Henry David Thoreau

Success comes to people who work hard instead of sitting and waiting for something to happen.

To be successful, you have to spend a lot of time trying new things, testing what works and aiming for positive results.

Be one of those people who work hard instead of talking about their dream and achieve really outstanding results!

🦁🐒 Happy National Zoo Lovers Day! 🐘🦒

I’ve had the joy of visiting some incredible zoos across the country — from Atlanta to Washington DC, Green Bay to Cincinnati, San Antonio, Asheboro, NC, and Detroit! 🐾 Each one has given me a chance to connect with wildlife, learn about different species, and support important conservation efforts. Zoos play such a vital role in protecting endangered animals, educating the public, and inspiring us to care for the world’s ecosystems. 🌍💚

Now I’m on the lookout for my next zoo adventure! Which one should I visit next? Share your favorites and let’s keep supporting these amazing places! 🦓🐅

Let’s face it. As a small business owner, there are lots of tools that help you run your business. 🛠️ But sometimes, what you’re using gets out-of-date, or you simply outgrow it. 🌱 If that’s the case, I can help you find a new tool that can grow with you. 🚀

Here are some of my favorites:

Project Management Tools

Trello or Asana: Organize tasks, set deadlines, and manage team projects with ease using visual boards or detailed task lists. ✅

File Storage & Sharing

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Tools

Less Annoying CRM: One price level. Simple to use, but packed with what you need. 👍

✨ I had it all figured out! I was finally going to quit working late into the night. 🌙🙌

But then... one client had an issue, and I spent FOUR HOURS on the phone with support. ☎️😩 That put the rest of my clients' work in "Catch-up" mode. 🏃‍♀️💨

You know what though? I’ve learned not to stress when that happens! 💆‍♀️ It doesn’t mean we failed when things don’t go as planned. Forgive and move on — that’s my motto! 💪✨

As long as you learn from it, you’ll be able to stay on track and keep going. 🚀 Maybe it’s as simple as being too optimistic about what you can get done. 📝 Most of us don’t take into account the unexpected things that can slow us down. ⏳

I’ve totally got my hand up over here, especially after this week! ✋ Next week, I’ll be planning ahead for speed bumps and interruptions. 🚧

What’s a hiccup you had this week? 🤔👇
