Feeling good, feeling fine, feeling saucy

My, my, my … two posts in one day. Aren’t you special. ;-)

Feeling really, really good this morning, and I’m continuing with my plans of World Domination for Davis Virtual Assistants. Riddle me this, my Killer Sharks: What are you doing to achieve World Dominance in your niche? What’s that? You’re not planning world domination for whatever it is you do to bring home the bacon? Are you kidding me! Are you nuts?! Are you insane?! Man, do I feel sorry for you. You’re swimming in the same fishbowl with all the other Guppies, looking really cute but gettin’ nowhere fast. No fins up for you today, unless …

Unless you decide to cannonball with full force into the deep end of the business pool with the other Business Sharks. Why? Because Sharks make it happen, Sharks don’t wait to be fed, and Sharks have the killer instinct. You’ve got the killer instinct in you, I know you do, but you need some helping getting it out and letting the world see. That’s where a support team comes into play, and more specifically the Davis Virtual Assistants team. When you outsource to DavisVA.com, you’re giving yourself the time and mental energy to focus on those things which bring you money. When you outsource, you’re not focusing on the administrative details which prevent you from making money. When you outsource, you’ve got more time for friends, family, your tax deductions and of course all of those long forgotten hobbies.

Killer Shark with lots of money and lots of time, or a wimpy Guppy who’s gasping for breath and floundering? Call the ball and let me know your answer …

Contact the Virtual Assistant, right now, and I’ll show you how outsourcing will make a profound and positive impact on your business.

I’m all in

A superb good morning to not only my Killer Sharks, but also to my Guppies who’ve cannonball’d into the deep end of the business pool! Fins up to both groups for doing what you do, and for continuing to keep me inspired and motivated.

If you’re a Texas Hold ‘em addict, like I am, you understand very well the concept of “all in.” To shove everything into the pot with either the nuts or a stone cold bluff is extraordinarily powerful and ballsy. You’re showing your table mates you’re playing the big dance your way, and they’re invited to come along for the ride … if they dare.

Some of you, on the other hand, are sitting on the sidelines waiting to be invited to the business game. You’re afraid of the “all in.” Silly Guppies you are! You’re hemming and hawing while the Sharks at the table scoop up all the business, and all the while you’re wondering how in the hell they’re so successful. I double-dog-dare you, right now, to mosy on up to the table make your presence known at the business table, to boldly put your chip stack in full view, and invite yourself to the business party. Stop waiting for the invitation.

One of the best ways to accomplish this — and one of the numerous reasons Killer Sharks are so successful — is by outsourcing. When you let go of all those time suckers which are preventing you from focusing on your money-making activities, you’re making a very powerful statement to your competition. You’re also boldly inviting them to your business party, and you’re acting like the bad ass Big Kahuna that you are. Competition is a very good thing, and the only way you can remain competitive in your niche is by partnering with a professional Virtual Assistant.

Let’s spend some time addressing the concept of “time suckage.” It can be defined simply as activities which you’re currently handling which are preventing you from keeping your business in business. Here are some great examples of time wasters which you can outsource to Davis Virtual Assistants:

  • Shopping cart management (your info products need to get added to your shopping cart, then uploaded to your websites and blog)

  • Article Marketing (get all those great how-to bits and bytes out of your head and posted on the web, and greatly improve your SEO in the process!)

  • Appointment setting (it’s much more professional when your assistant calls on your behalf and it puts a better “face” on your business)

  • Blog administration (yet another way to let the universe know you’re the expert in your field)

  • Project management (let your Virtual Assistant handle the day-to-day details)

  • Personal appointments, personal shopping (never forget another important birthday or special occasion, and have your VA book your dental appointments and flight/hotel arrangements)

  • CRM, or client relationship management (one of the most important aspects of your business is your in-touch marketing system)

  • And the list goes on and on …

    All of the stuff you see above, and so much more, consumes your valuable time and brain power. More important, all this stuff keeps your focus on the administrative details and not the big picture. The administrative stuff, and some of the technical stuff as well, can be outsourced very successfully, and in short order you’ll wonder why it took you so long to finally make the decision to outsource!

    It’s Monday, August 4, 2008, and you’ve got one shot at greatness today. I say prepare now for your “all in,” and don’t be afraid to consider outsourcing. Call the ball and let’s chat …
