Death to the VA?

Today marks the BIG day for our free teleseminar where we’re going to introduce the new business and what our BIG plans are for 2009. It seems like a lot of people are doing this… We’re really moving into who we are truly meant to be and to see everyone doing it is glorious!

One of the things I’ve been joking (partially?) with my clients about is that on January 1, 2009, the virtual assistant part of my died. I am going to admit it… I did not make the world’s greatest VA. Funny that it took me four years of running my VA business and teaching others to create VA businesses before realizing that it just wasn’t my calling.

So… why is that? Well, a few things. First – I’m a born entrepreneur. I revel in the big picture, the results, working inside of your passion and exceeding set goals. Second – doing “tasks” is not my specialized skill set. Sure, I could do all of the “tasks” that a VA was required to do but when it came to just staying in that one place, I couldn’t. I was always off doing other things too which distracted me from being just a VA.

Now that I’ve stepped into this new me, I realize that being an Internet Marketing Strategist IS my forte. The best part is that our company can still offer virtual assistance but in the form of implementation – the follow through to carefully thought out plans. It’s just that I don’t need to be doing it… My talented team can (and they do an even better job than I ever could have!) There were many holes that existed in my previous work with clients and now that I can see them, it’s allowed me to adjust accordingly.

No one was being served properly when we mashed together – both parties having different expectations and both expectations falling short. The client didn’t know where to start, we didn’t know their businesses well enough (and soon enough) and the frustration would set in. Being a big picture thinker and loving when goals are set to work toward, I changed all of that for 2009.

Instead of just “doing”, now we’re doing what we’ve naturally done for quite some time… We’re now planning, following through and then measuring results.
