Now I’m no doctor, psychologist, psychiartrist, or any of those fancy professions.  I am simply a person who has experienced the rejuvenating power of taking a nap.  Not a sleep, but a nap.

Everyone of us at times feel some level of stress at some point in time as we take on our daily activities.  Irate customers, over-the-shoulder bosses, or for those with their own businesses, just the fluctuations in the business environment, one thing impacting another, machines that don’t work, all these are things that causes us to feel tense and anxious-stressed.

Well believe me, napping for just 5 minutes relaxes, restores patience, gives a different perspective, motivates and envigorates and of course increases productivity.  I find to to be well worth those 5 minutes.

So stop chewing on the lip, biting the nail, grinding your teeth or blowing steam at everyone.  Pop into the wash room and take a nap.  It WORKS.  It really does.  Give it a try.

When your day job is not your passion, giving it your best takes discipline, committment and focus.  Now your passion on the other hand just requires focus and time.  In fact, for most of us, we make the time for our passion.  Committment and discipline is already there, that is why it became our passion.

Why then can’t your day job be your passion?  Or is it that you are lucky if it is.  For those with small businesses, maybe that can be more of a  reality since they can choose the type of business to get involved in, and spend the time building that business.  And you build that business day by day using the tools available to do it.  A great tool for building that business is the virtual assistant, who allows you the time to now do your day job with passion since it is your passion.

The virtual assistant takes over and takes away the tasks that takes so much of your time that the most important things are left behind.

So for those who are fortunate enough to have a day job that is your passion, embrace it, be fullfilled by it and rewarded with it.

Before you decide on whether or not to agree or disagree with the caption, some definition must be offered for “change” and “improvement”.  So what is change. Well according to the dictionary, it is “to make different, to alter, to transform”.  What then is improvement.  According to the dictionary again, it is ” to make or become better”.  So you can see where I’m going with this.

While change can result in either an advantage or disadvantage, improvement is definitely an advantage.  This can be seen when in business, a decision is made that the outcome is not certain.  That will be change, but improvement  predicts a positive outcome.  One sure improvement for the small business is a virtual assistant.

So this week, lets all strive for improvement rather than mere change.  All this will require will be a little more effort than what change will cost.

When I talk about lazy days, believe me I know exactly what I’m talking about.  Because I used to have them.  Days when you just don’t feel like it.  Whatever “it” is.  But the thing is, those days still visit sometimes, but I don’t entertain them.  I get myself [...] Continue Reading…
