The Art of the Pivot

Apr 03, 2020

Let’s face it, the economy is a mess and we really don’t know how bad this could get. I’m not going to get into speculation and waste time inspiring you to make a change in your business. You’re here because you have the fortitude to make a change already.

We’re going to dive right in and examine the “Art of the Pivot” so you can take actionable steps right away!

What Does it Mean to Pivot

Pivots can be defining moments in your career (and really in your life) if done intentionally. Pivoting in business means that you are realistic, have courage and are a visionary. Pivoting means you understand that although you may have done something one way that produced results for possibly decades; you have the understanding that “times are a changing” and you need to change with it.

But, we need to be intentional with our pivot - and to do that we must do a deep dive into the foundation of our business and identify any potential cracks.

Let’s face it, the economy has crashed and we’re likely facing the worst recession any of us have ever lived through.

Podcast Episode 60: Working with VAs with Veronica Taylor

Mar 15, 2020
 

Veronica Taylor started her corporate career in the late 1990s, right after the dot.com boom.  Then in 2003 she made a leap and left corporate America to start her own business, working with VAs. She says she learned a lot but her decision was based around wanting more autonomy and as she likes to create change, she found working with c-level execs, she was often caught with the attitude “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it”. 

So listen in to hear Veronica’s story along with everything from the first tasks and projects you should get started on when working with VAs to so much more!

Podcast Episode 57: Written Communication & Interviewing

Feb 26, 2020
 

I did an earlier episode where I talked about the importance of written communication and interviewing with regards to working with VAs.  I wanted to revisit this topic and dive deeper as I have been getting a lot of questions from you about this.

Podcast Episode 54: Streamline Communication w/ Trello Boards

Feb 21, 2020
 

Today I talk to you about Trello boards, why I love them, and how I use Trello to work less and make more! Trello is simply a collaboration tool that helps you organize your projects and tasks. You can easily see what's being worked on and who in your team is working on what. Although there are other tools out there, I find Trello the easiest to use and I also find that most of my VAs are familiar with it. If you don't know where to start, ask your VA to set it up for you.
