Today, I’m very delighted because I finally got a virtual assistant. The outsourcing company I hired handles small-scale businessmen and businesswomen like myself and I’ll be visiting their site to discuss business matters with them. This will also be a good time for me to take a break because I seem to have been doing so much work lately. Anyway, I got it all figured out sooner than I thought since I was clearly very eager to have someone else do the job for me. I’m not getting any younger and I feel as if I have missed a lot of things for years now. So I want to use this opportunity to live my life as normally as I could without compromising my business credibility.
They will be focusing on the micro tasks because I particularly don’t want those areas left behind including finance management and other related fields. My pastry chef is not too big of an establishment just yet but I’m hopeful that we’ll get there. But since we have more customers pouring in everyday and we lack the manpower to cater to them, I personally want to move the business to the next level. Many are venturing in this because convenience and cost-cutting methods are just impressive.
I can’t wait to get it started and see how this newly devised strategy of mine will work on the market. But to be honest, despite their confidence in the quality of their result-driven job, I will not fail to look over things from time to time. This is my business after all and I wouldn’t want to put all my efforts to waste all the more disappoint my loyal customers. If I have to do it on my own again one day, I might as well acknowledge the possibility as soon as today. Being prepared is the least I can do for taking risks. Fortunately, they will be as concise as I would expect in order for me to clearly understand the importance of virtual assistants for a business like mine. Soon, I will share some updates. This is all for now.

I mean Business
My pastry shop has been around for quite some time. I have dealt with tons of problems—problems that are often understood as necessity for a business to flourish. That’s very clear to me indeed, but sometimes when problems arise in different levels; it just gets the best of me. Sometimes, I bite my employees head off; don’t get me wrong but it’s practically normal and a few employers admit this.
On a different note, I’m happier now with how much I’m profiting. It’s not much but it pays the bills and soon enough when I’m ready I’ll probably expand this, open some branches across the state or something. Wishful thinking but it’s a better idea than just sitting there watching time pass by me.
With so many orders and increasing number of customers, I’m thinking maybe I should use a virtual assistant to do some things like accounting tasks. I’m pretty sure this is a big load off my back since I can’t really trust myself to juggle of these things at once. Better to outsource it than complicate it further. I’m looking for the right company and I have been taking my time, pacing things just so I can settle all my affairs in order. Wish me luck.
