How to Convert Your Weaknesses into Strengths
Small business owners are multi-tasking kings and queens who divide their time, energy and mental space between activities they:
When you spend time on business activities or tasks that you don't enjoy, that you don't do well, or that you don't have the knowledge or tools to do properly, you are focusing on weakness. This creates unprofitability and inefficiency in your business and will have you putting in an enormous number of hours and effort desperately trying to keep up. Is this a wise or productive thing to do? Wouldn’t it be smarter to stop engaging in those activities that are time and energy-draining to you? The easiest and most cost-effective way to convert those weak spots into strengths is by delegating that work. Dedicate your precious time and efforts to what you enjoy, do best and which are the best use of your time. Your best alternative is to find someone who will work with you on an ongoing basis. This will allow you to really count on literally forgetting about your weaknesses. A professional Virtual Assistant is an effective collaborative partner who will work with you on a continuous basis so that you can focus on your strengths, grow your business and increase revenue. You'll be increasing the hours you have to focus on your core strengths and be able to leverage the skills, knowledge and tools a professional Virtual Assistant brings to the relationship into a strength for your business. You'll be happier--and so will your business! RESOURCE: For help on getting started delegating, read these past articles in the Gritty Business Buzz: "5 Steps to Start Delegating" and "Getting the Delegation Process Going."

As
a small business owner, you are almost certainly enthusiastic, constantly
learning new things, and always seeking to improve both your business
and personal skills. One challenge you may face is how to convert your
weaknesses into strengths. You may have even gone through your business
and/or personal SWOT Analysis (strategic planning method used to evaluate
a business' Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats). But are
you taking the next step that will allow you to convert those weaknesses
into strengths?

The
2008 Virtual Assistant Industry Survey went fabulously and the results
are fascinating. I want to thank all the participants for their efforts
in promoting it and making it the best yet! All Virtual Assistants who
participated in the survey and signed up to the mailing list at the end
get a free copy of the survey. 
Are
you exposing yourself… and your personal assets? Doing business
as a sole proprietor may seem the easy and cheap way to go, but the downside
can be devastating.
