The Mic Is On: Meet Stacy Brice! Let's Bust Myths about Virtual Assistants

by

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

What Myths Do You Believe about Virtual Assistants?

Delegation. We can’t get work done without help, but no one can do our work as well as we can … right? Actually, maybe we ought to reconsider.

What myths about VAs do you believe?

  • A VA will never do things as well as I do.
  • I can’t afford a VA.
  • I should work with an $8/hour VA oversees–I’ll get more bang for my buck.
  • I don’t think the virtual thing would work–I need to be with someone face-to-face.
  • I should have a bunch of VAs who specialize–no one can do it all for me.

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey . . . and flamenco dancing (because we always get off topic, anyway.)

Brinng your questions and your relevant links!

The Specials this Week are

Outspoken media asks …
As companies dive deeper into social media, as Community Manager job descriptions are being created and employees are becoming “spokespeople” for the company they work for, we’re being forced to ask a hard, somewhat controversial question: Who owns an employee’s social media connections?

1 to 1 media wonders …
There’s no denying it’s tough out there for America’s workforce. Every week more layoff numbers are announced. It seems like everyone is in jeopardy, no matter what field your in or how well you do your job. In the corporate world, marketing departments are one of the high-profile areas that unfortunately seem to get unwanted attention during cost-cutting times.

Hound Dog Blog recalls …
It has been said that Frank L Baum named the title ‘OZ’ by glancing at his files and seeing the folder: O – Z … crazy… to me where such a place comes from . .

Junta 42 measures …
Right now, maybe more than ever, your content marketing efforts deserve a little measurement. Amidst budget cuts and strapped resources, elements of a marketing communication plan that lack at least some metrics linking back to effectiveness tend to be early casualties. “Nice to have” is often “first to go.”

Related ala carte selections include

Does Your View At Work Enhance Your Life?

My theory is that you will certainly feel better if you are working in a beautiful place. A view is a gift to yourself. A message that “I’m worth it”.

Oh, and bring example links to photos of your view at work.

The rules are simple — be nice.

Do be nice. 🙂
