It’s been over 4 months since I hired my Virtual Assistant Jocelyn from the Philippines. I hired her to take care of my business' customer inquiry emails, phone calls and my social media presence. She can write promo copies and other legal agreements, build newsletters and websites, do SEO legwork and book meetings for me. All of these tasks, done remotely from her little place in the Pacific islands. The only thing she can't do and would love to do for me is make me coffee. She says she brews it real black whenever she's online for our Skype sessions. We have daily think-tank hours discussing how to streamline our flow and how to make my business more engaging to customers.
One good lesson I learned from Jocelyn is that a Virtual Assistant can really help set you up for massive success. My modest online business has grown enough to support me with a reasonable income, enough to equal the amount I make with my day job. This has made me seek out and leverage other revenue opportunities because I have more time to think clearly about the future.
I've never had so much time on my own before that I could actually play golf in the afternoons. I no longer dread checking my emails fearing I would drown in a sea of constant routine inquiries. Jocelyn has made my life quite efficient and productive.
Maybe if my business venture goes on successfully, I can personally visit the Philippines and put up my remote office. Maybe by then, me and my Virtual Assistant Jocelyn can finally share a good cup of Joe in the same time zone.
