What kinds of quality do you expect when hiring virtual assistants or freelancers and they are working remotely? Ever notice that some of the remote workers have really great communication skills while others make you wait for days on end to get their attention or response?  

I decided to write about this because I've noticed that there are good VAs and bad VAs, good freelancers and bad freelancers, so what gives? Hopefully these behavioral rules will help assimilate all remote workers, it's just to me, common sense, especially in a business setting.

You might have attended a Zoom Meeting before but do you know that there is also Zoom Webinar?  Do you know the difference between a Zoom Meeting and a Zoom Webinar?

How Mediums Lack the Confidence and Stay Stuck in Classes and Practice Circles and Prolonging their Readiness to Read Professionally.

This episode is about how lack of confidence in mediumship readings hold you back and how to overcome them. I bring tips and ideas to help you get out and step into the professional zone.

Why are mediums so afraid to step out of their comfort zone and start reading for individuals or to a group of people? I mean, these are very mediums that I've witnessed read in practice circles. Some have taken classes for over 2 years and they still don't feel ready.

When I asked they why they are not reading professionally most tell me "they are not ready", or they started mediumship later in life and feel they need years and years of practice. And there are some who are afraid of making mistakes, not be able to connect with a spirit in front of the individual (or sitter).

As a psychic-medium I am also a Certified Life Coach. If you need to talk confidentially about any issues that are holding you back, set up a time with me to see if we can work together to accomplish your goals and build the confidence that I know resides within you.

This episode is about having an online presence and a website. How important is it to have your own website? Do you rely using only social media to use for your business? 

• Not relying only on social media for your online presence
• Importance of you owning your own content by having your own website
• Hosting service
• Buying a domain name

Don't just rely on having your business online presence on a social media platform.  In my humble opinion, you have more control over your own website.  For the hosting service GreenGeeks, I mentioned that they speak to you in plain easy to understand English, (just a quick note, I don’t know if they speak to other customers in English only, since I am in the US and shared my own experience. They might speak to you in other languages too.) Please read terms of usage, and/or condition of the social media platforms mentioned in this (or all of our) episode.

In this episode we'll explore how to name your business. You can name your business as your own name and ideas on how to name your business.

After you thought about the services you will be offering, let's think about what your business structure will be.  Will you be a sole-proprietor? Do you know if you will need to get a business insurance? Not all small business owners need them. Your working hours will you be flexible or have a set schedule everyday to work with your clients or in your business.

So you want to start working from home or remotely? In this very first episode, it's about thinking of what type of services you can offer working from home or working remotely.  Do you have transferrable skills that you utilize for a business owner, perhaps secretarial skills, booking hotels, cars, do their email management? Think about what services you can provide, write it down all of the skills you have now.  



* All the episodes in this podcast provide general information on starting your remote service business.  Individual experiences are unique.  The views and expressions from the show and our guests is their own and we are not liable for any business outcomes or your success. Please to seek professional advice from tax preparers, legal, financial counseling, and other services you see that fit in your business. 

This podcast is about our experiences with being self-employed, entrepreneurship and bootstrapping it. Sometimes, I have spectacular guest that join me, and share their stories. Also, it’s about connecting to our soul, our inner selves, to unwind and chill. 

How do you know when you are ready to communicate with your loved one that you recently lost and passed to the other side?

Consider an important point about mediumship: if you’re drawn to it after recently losing a loved one, wait and heal more before proceeding.
