The Trusty Oak Post

Have you ever woken up full of energy, ready to tackle your workload and clear out your schedule, only to stutter and fall into procrastination come 2pm? Yeah, it’s a bummer - you can be using the best apps on offer, but if your head’s not in the game then you’re not getting anything done.

Entrepreneurs and business owners are driven people who aren't scared to work hard, burn the midnight oil, and sacrifice to make their dreams a reality. They're skilled and ambitious, and frankly, they're our favorite kind of people to work with.

In January I shared with you “Three Ways to Say Yes to Success in Relationships”.  You’re thinking, “Ya.  Okay.  Now, how do I actually figure out what’s most important to me?”  Or, “I’m not very good at listening.”

As virtual assistants we know that building trusting relationships with clients is key to ensuring the success of our clients.  We strive to build trust through competence in our professional work and through displaying character that exudes reliability, honesty and a collaborative spirit in both our professional and personal relations.
