A Round ‘Tuit’ and Virtual Assistants

Most of us remember, from several years ago, the round ‘tuit’ that swept through emails, forwarded ‘round and ‘round the country – maybe even the world. The premise was that if you had this ‘tuit,’ you could finally get around to doing all of the things you said you would “when you got around to it.” It was cute and funny, but it also made many people stop and think, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I actually could make this little round tuit work for me? I could rub it and finally get all of my projects done.” Many folks realized it would be like having a genie in a bottle that was at your command (your wish, Master?).

Well, we know there are no genies (drat!), and even though some of us may have tuits, we also know we could rub them for a month and none of our projects would ever be finished unless we completed them ourselves.

We also know there are only so many hours in each day, and that being human has its limits. It’s sad to think that some of those things may never get done – because there’s just not enough time to do them all.

Don’t be depressed. I’m here to tell you that now there is the ‘next best thing’ to having a genie. It’s called a Virtual Assistant. Many people have heard the term, but may not know exactly what it means. According to the Virtual Assistant Networking Association (VANA – www.vananetworking.com), a Virtual Assistant (VA, for short), is:

“a business owner who works from their own office providing professional
support, services and skills to their clients via phone, fax and internet-based technology. Partnering with a VA reduces stress, protects cash flow, eliminates administrative hassles, and enables business people to find the success they originally set out to achieve. A VA is your right-hand person helping you to succeed in your business. The irony is you may never meet your VA, as odds are they live nowhere near you!”

Think of it – you can hire a virtual assistant for all of those jobs you’ve been meaning to get around to, and – poof! – just like having a magic genie, suddenly those jobs are completed. And the best part is – you barely had to lift a finger. All you had to do was contact a virtual assistant. Wow! Wishes really can come true – and while genies don’t actually exist, the next best thing to a genie is a virtual assistant.

So, before you spend another day staring at those piles of projects you’ve been meaning to do when you get A Round Tuit – take a few minutes and contact a virtual assistant instead. You can have a VA perform what will seem like magic – completing those projects you want completed, but never get done. Your desk will be cleared, your “To-Do” list will be shorter, and your stress level will improve, because you’ve just taken care of all of those things you’ve wanted to get around to, but never quite could. Your own Virtual Assistant -- SO much better than a round tuit!
