I haven’t abandoned my blog, I’ve just been busy focusing on my business growth strategies for the New Year.

As I mentioned in an earlier post. I’m now working with a business coach and boy is she great! Here’s a list of what I’m working on this month.

• Designing my new blogsite. Yep, I’m changing the name of my Virtual Assistance Business from Yolie’s Place to something more expressive of what I actually do.
• Working on my Newsletter content and getting everything loaded into Aweber. The newsletter will start with the launch of my new site.

I started my business by accident. I was working in the suburbs, living in the city, and sick of the commute. After a particularly
long four hour commute because of a snow storm, I gave three weeks notice the next day.

My boss asked me to stay until she found someone. I agreed and started my job search (I gave notice before I had a job, I was just fed up).

To make a long story short, she hadn’t found anyone after three weeks and I’d already secured another position. She asked me If I could work weekends to help out until she found someone. I agreed and traveled to my old job every weekend for an additional three weeks.

I do. I’ve enrolled in Erin Blaskie’s group coaching session which started January 16th. I went back and forth on whether or not to sign up for the eight week coaching.

Why? I never thought I needed someone to tell me how to run my business. After all, it’s my business so I can run it the way I want.

Boy was I wrong, coaching is not about TELLING you what to do. It’s about HELPING you do the things you want to do. You see the difference?
