Musings from Cindy Greenway

If you’ve been on any teleclasses or training with us, you’ll know that we talk a LOT about Mindset …. Marketing Mindset and Business Mindset. Well today I’d like to share something with you that somewhat empowered me over the last few weeks …. a different kind of mindset.

I’m sharing this with you because I hope it will impact you as positively as it impacted me and it also somewhat relates to this week’s ‘Future of Virtual Assistance’ topic. Remember, I too have my own VA business supporting clients and I love to share the things that I find helpful for me and my business.

Something ‘clicked’ for me this week. I’ve been taking things ‘easy’ over the summer months - working a little here and there - but focusing mostly on having fun in the sun.

Anyways, I listened in on a teleclass recently, hosted by one of my clients,
Katrina Sawa. While listening to the call I found myself super motivated by the discussion, and started writing down all the goals I wanted to accomplish this year and into next year.

I *think* what prompted this for me was the discussion around the qualities that 6, 7, and 8-figure business owners have in common. Here’s what they were:

• Ability to make decisions - swiftly and confidently
• Take big leaps of faith - having faith that everything will fall into place and be ok
• Invest in ourselves - attend training, conferences, networking events
• Believe in ourselves - the belief that everything will work out

This sparked something for me and gave me the kick-in-the-behind I needed! Turn on my ‘thinking big’ mindset and really got me excited.

Do you have these qualities?

Do you believe in your business?

Question of the Week

What Are You Doing to Help Grow Your Client’s Business?

Tina recently posted this on her blog and we thought it would be a great topic to get you thinking about the work you do with your clients.

I’ve included a link to the full blog post below but here’s a snippet that I’d like to share here with you:

With all the bumps in the economy these days, I’m hearing some buzz among online support folks (virtual assistants, online business managers and the like) along the lines of "If my client’s business is struggling - doesn’t that mean they’ll have to let me go?"

Au contraire! Your services are needed more than ever because of these challenges…

We need to always be focused on how we are helping to grow our client’s business. If you find yourself in fear of ‘losing your clients’ or are seeing some of your clients struggling I want to ask you: What are you doing to help grow your client’s business?

Read the ideas Tina shares on her blog …. you’ll be surprised at how effective these points are no matter who you work with! Take a few minutes to leave your comments about what you ARE doing to help your clients build their business.
