Keep Calm and Call a Virtual Assistant

The “Keep Calm and […enter your text…]” meme (the ones printed on a colored background and topped with a royal crown,) is so popular it can be seen scrawled almost everywhere. You see it emblazoned on t-shirts, coffee mugs, sticky notes, bumper stickers, business establishments (I swear I saw signage saying: Keep Calm and Get a Hair Cut somewhere, I just forgot to take a snapshot) even BBC joined the proliferation of “keep calm” posts (see the image below).

QUICK HISTORY

Discovered in a bookshop in England in 2000 by Stuart and Mary Manley, the owners of a second-hand book shop in Alnwick, Northumberland, it is now one of the most recognizable slogans in British history. It was originally printed on the eve of World War II but was not used for its original purpose: to encourage a positive outlook on the Home Front during WWII.

The “Keep Calm and Carry On” a slogan is a propaganda tool supposed to boost morale during a time of austerity and fear. Today, parodies of the message have become extraordinarily commonplace that we decided to join the trend and create our own version. Well, you can guess what our pithy saying would be.

You got the message clear, surely? When you’re about to freak out because of an overwhelming workload, keep calm and call the best virtual assistants in Batangas. Why do you ask? Well let me ask you these:

10 QUESTIONS TO ASSESS IF A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT IS A GOOD FIT FOR YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS

1. Do personal errands start interfering with your productivity?

2. Do repetitive, time consuming daily tasks bog you down?

3. Do you lose your sanity scheduling meetings, answering calls or sorting out your emails?

4. Do you find yourself ignoring the “core” because you’re focusing on minutiae business tasks?

5. Do you get frustrated doing tasks you don’t really enjoy doing but you need to do it?

6. Do you need to delegate tasks because of your growing business?

7. Do you think others could do some of the business tasks better? I mean, you can’t always be the “jack of all trades”, right?

8. Do you want to avoid the hassle of recruiting, hiring and training a ‘physical” office staff?

9. Do you need additional staff but don’t have enough office equipment or space?

10. Do you feel like your personnel budget is suffocating your financial growth?

Believe me, your life would be much easier with the help of a virtual assistant than hiring a full-time employee. Imagine yourself sipping sangria somewhere in Ibiza (or maybe Bali?) while someone remotely takes care of your databases or updates your blog contents.
