Sometimes the simplest task can make or break ones day. In this day and age there can be added pressures to perform and be able to do simple tasks.
So how does one do simple tasks when they haven't been taught or haven't learned to do the task? Some responses are; research, google, ask, give up, crash, cry, forget it, walk out and so on.
So the next time you scream at someone for not doing something properly... ask yourself, have they been taught how to do the task. This can be frustrating as we do believe others should know how to do tasks that are simple to us.
Always make sure instructions are available but don't rely on the fact that instructions are easy to follow. Allow people to google and research problem solving. Simple tips and how-to's are avaialble all over the internet.
A lot of you will know exactly how to format a picture in an ms word document, but for those who don't this Quick Tip will show you within a minute how to do it.
So next time you don't know how to do a simple task, google it or ask those who do know.
How are you managing recession? If you are a VA then you should be able to now market to all those employers who can't afford to keep a full set of full timers on board. Many small to medium size businesses at the moment are just not re employing when a staff member leaves. So for a VA, this is your opportunity to market to them to take over essential tasks that are now being getting behind.
And to those businesses that don't want to re employ just yet. Use your VA or contact Admincorp and we'll help support you through. If you can manage without the extra staff member then we should be able to continue the essential administrative duties for you for a third of that salary.
So working smarter is the strategy for recession management. Whether you contract the services of a VA for the next six months or permanently.
