Does Your Business Have Stretch Marks?

Stretch marks show growth and if your business is growing there should be proof. What steps are you taking to insure that your business is growing?Think back to the first year in your business, you didn’t really have any task to outsource. You probably didn’t have a need for a bookkeeper or an accountant.Now think to your second year in business; you feel the “time crunch” on certain tasks, you can’t keep up with your own record keeping, you don’t have time to write your own articles anymore let alone submit those articles to all of the submission directories.

Now you’re into your third year of business, you find that you really need help and NOW! But where do go to find help?

Besides doing your basic internet research for “virtual assistant” or “virtual assistance”, why not ask fellow entrepreneurs and online business owners for their suggestions.

The Longest Winter!

Ugh! It seems that winter just keeps dragging on and on! I think I need to move down South…somewhere warmer than Ohio.

How about you, has it been a long winter where you live? I don’t know about you, but I sure learn how to be a more patient person in the winter than any other season.

Here’s a recipe that will warm you up….

Pizza Crust Dough

Speghetti Sauce

Shredded Cheese (I use mozzerella)

Assorted Vegetables..

*Mix pizza dough as instructed. Spray large cookie sheet with spray oil. Press dough onto pan. Spread speghetti sauce all over dough. Sprinkle cheese. (now for the fun part) Arrange assorted veggies into shapes or one large smiley face…use your imagination.

Bake as directed and enjoy! Have a great weekend

What Are Your Financial Goals? by Stephanie Fish

Have you written down your financial goals for 2008?  If not, why?

Are you satisfied with your financial goals from 2007? If not, why?

Most small business owners are not satisfied with their finances, they want to bring in more money than the year before and they don’t want to work more hours than needed. So how does a small business owner build a better year financially without working more? 

They outsource! They build their team, a team made up of virtual assistants.

Take a look at your financial goals,  have you included a long list of tasks such as: blogging weekly, start your own podcast, obtain more interviews, submit more press releases and articles, building your mailing list, researching your next interview opportunity or speaking engagement?  All of these tasks can be outsourced to one virtual assistant or a mulititude of VA’s.

 Take active steps today toward your 2008 financial goals, learn from the past, and look to the future!

Have a great week! Until next time…God bless
