When you are running a VA business, often you’re going to find that you are pulled in one of two directions. Either you’re going to find yourself thinking about taking off more time than you probably should or you are going to find yourself thinking about work into the wee hours of the morning wondering what it is that you forgot to add to your to do list. During the holiday season, one of the things that you are going to discover is that the pull in each direction seems to get a little bit stronger.

So what are you going to do about it?

When you’re running a VA business, you’re going to want to be sure that you’ve gone beyond time management 101 and have mastered fitting everything that needs to be done into your schedule (including leaving some “extra” time for those things that will invariably come up. Similarly, you’re going to want to make sure that, when you are running a VA business, you’re willing to schedule some time off for yourself – especially during the holidays when you’ll have time to spend recharging with family and friends.

Running a VA business, of course, is something that you can control – at least to some extent. By making sure that you focus on taking the time that you need for yourself (at least every once in a while) you’re going to find that you’re in a great position to love running a VA business.
