How to Live Fabulously!

This blog post has been authored by Stand Out Online Member Lauren Hopper, Living Fabulously

We all want to live fabulously, but what does that even mean really? For some of us it means having a shiny new car. For others, it means having that beautiful 4 bedroom house with granite kitchen counters. For some, it might mean travelling to new and exotic destinations. There is no one exact way to live fabulously, but I would like to share what I think fabulous living is.

I started my VA company, Living Fabulously with Lauren, because the idea of working 40 hours a week for someone else’s dream didn’t sit right with me. At only 19, I knew I wanted to be in charge of my life. I wanted to be the CEO of my life, and to make empowered decisions. Becoming a VA gave me the opportunity to decide.

I decide who I work with. I decide how much money I make. I decide what I do with my time.

My decision to become a vir…

3 Quick & Easy Steps to Start Documenting SOPs When You’re Stuck in the Day-to-Day

This blog post has been authored by Stand Out Online Member Tarena Muhammad, Legion

You hired your team because your business grew too big for you to handle all the things on your own (a fabulous challenge to have, btw). But I get it – even with support, you still have issues letting things go .. we all do.

Every business will experience growing pains. And while your team might be amazing at what they do, they can’t read your mind when it comes to bringing your big vision to life. That’s why it’s absolutely critical that you bring your vision and expectations to your team in a comprehensive way, so that you can delegate with confidence.

In order for your business to grow and thrive, while still maintaining the quality service that surpasses your client’s expectations, every member on your team needs fully documented processes and standardized training. 

I’m often asked what’s the best way to …

4 Ways to Postpone your Procrastination

This blog post has been authored by Stand Out Online Member Bria Blount, Acknowledge Self-Awareness Life Coaching

We’ve all done it at some time or other. We put off our exercise routine until tomorrow; we continually delay finishing that project or starting that business.

Procrastination is the mother of all demons and can literally stop you in your tracks from achieving all that you desire.

Here are 5 effective processes you can use to slay this giant.

1. Do it now

Hold your breath and jump right in! Putting things off until the last minute is a bad habit and like all habits is ingrained in our subconscious mind and hard to break.

Sometimes we procrastinate because the task may be intimidating to us.…
