Guest Blog: I LOVE MY JOB!

6/25/2018

By Tiffany McCawley (Freedom Maker)

​Can I just say how much I love my job?  Really, I do. I’m not entirely sure how many people can really say that with confidence, but I know that I can.  



It’s typical military wife life that I just sort of stumbled into it.  When you’re a military family, you’re part of an extended family that’s spread so far and wide you have fingers in pies everywhere!  And that’s how I came into Virtual Assisting with Freedom Makers.

End of Q2: How is Your Business Going?

6/21/2018

​We are halfway through 2018!  Can you believe it? At this point in the year, it is always a good time to review how your business has done the first part of the year and make any changes or pivots for the remaining two quarters. 

I learned a while ago that I do best planning one to two quarters ahead. With a small business, things change fast and we are affected by many things. Therefore, I do not have a long-term strategic plan based on a timeline.  Now this is not to be confused with not having a vision.  I very much have a vision for Freedom Makers and it is a long-term vision made up of phases and milestones.

Once I reach a milestone, I move onto accomplishing another one. And once I meet all of the milestones that fall under a phase, I am ready to move onto the next phase.  If I were to tackle everything in my vision at once, it would get jumbled and not receive the attention each goal deserves.

By Jenny Boyles (Freedom Maker)

It’s the most wonderful time of the year--SUMMER!  That is if you are a kid! If you work out of your home and have kids home for the summer, this time of year can be one of the most challenging.  


I absolutely love summer and vowed that even though I work at home almost full time that I would not ruin my summer or my kids’ summer.  A couple of weeks in, I learned this was a hard promise to keep. I have a tween and a teen, therefore weekly summer camp options are not really appealing anymore. They do have activities and sports they do, but their big thing is their social life!  When not working, I am an Uber for my kids and cruise director to their social desires.

Is Responsiveness Killing Your Business or Killing You?

6/4/2018

​There are two kinds of small business owners: the ones who are so busy that they seem to take forever to respond to clients and the ones who feel they must always be available, bending over backwards for their clients and are killing themselves as a result. Which one are you?


Neither is better than the other, but neither is healthy. One hurts your business while one hurts you. Responsiveness is critical to the success of your business. According to Dawn Fotopulos, founder of BestSmallBizHelp.com and author of Accounting for the Numberphobic: A Survival Guide for Small Business Owners (AMACOM), “Responsiveness drives repeat clients. Repeat clients drive profits.”
