Great share. Yes, managing a virtual team can be taxing specially if the members are of different culture and time zone. It is really important that you lay down the objectives and the rules before the start of a project and all must be present when calling for a scheduled meeting in order for your message to be conveyed at once and you can address immediately whatever concerns each member has about the project. Having a time table is also good to keep track of activities done as well as easy to check if the objective has been met and activities are right on schedule. Hi. Great share.

]]> Comment on Five Undeniable Ways To Make Your Small Business More Productive by Rick Falls http://mybusinessassistantblogs.com/five-undeniable-ways-to-make-your-small-business-more-productive/comment-page-1/#comment-995 Rick Falls Thu, 21 Jul 2011 21:58:29 +0000 http://mybusinessassistantblogs.com/?p=398#comment-995 Like many other solutions and suggestions, I believe that the path to our businesses MUST be spelled out more clearly in order for us to entice and or attract more customers to us. I fully believe that your 5 points are solid and useful ones, however to tell those seeking improvement what they can do without breaking it down into actionable steps only adds to their current overwhelm and frustration. The last thing that businesses need is more information, they're better off with actionable steps. I have attempted to use VA type solutions to many of my business development tasks over the last few years, and what I typically find is an entire industry of well meaning and capable people, unable to clearly articulate what they can help me with and how they can help me utilize and appreciate the benefits of their services. That's what I mean when I say the path to us, in whatever our businesses may be, must be a more clearly stated and more concise one. Simply think of it like being hungry and a restaurant saying 'we have food". Would that be enough information for you to choose to eat there? Probably not. Type of food mentioned might be enough to help us decide. We need to present ourselves as partners as opposed to vendors as we create bigger things through collaboration. Currently I have a hungry market, a scalable way to deliver acceptable solutions and yet I need a little left brain help in organizing the flow, but upon looking for solutions to my particular issues, I see packages and "carved in stone offerings" that seem to overlook where exactly I am in the process of by businesses build out. Maybe we could collaborate on helping people find their way to you as providers as I increase the amount of work that flows to you through my solution that has a lot of underlying structure that needs to be created for my clients as I continue to introduce the possibilities to them through my 'early in the game" position in local business visibility and business development. Think so? Get in touch.
