Having VAs I can simply fax order forms to. My biz journal is like a living biz plan/brainstorm book. I used to carry 12 paperbacks on ever trip. For vlogging, nothing beats the camera on my iPad.    For graphics, my favorite is Instaquote. Another life saver? so they can enter them into my system for me.

If you are booking a meeting for yourself, for others or both, give everyone ample time to respond to the meeting and provide a reminder (theres a check box for this in the meeting set up page) of at least 15 minutes. A day or two before the task is due is usually sufficient.

Take classes, read a book, read current events about new trends that are happening in your field. See what you can change about yourself, don’t try to change others. Focus on the challenges and embrace the strengths. Avoid people that gossip, you will only get yourself deeper into negativity. Expand your mind.

Spanx: From concept to creation The idea for Spanx came about in 1998, when Blakely—who was selling fax machines door to door in Florida—wanted to eliminate panty lines showing through her cream-colored slacks. I quit my day job selling fax machines on Oct. The story of her success is remarkable. I was on her show in November.
