Barbara: Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of Virtual Success where I am joined with my fantastic co-host, Matt Malouf
Barbara: Matt how is it going?
Matt: Well, how about yourself?
Barbara: Fantastic, great this week. We’ve been punching out some amazing episodes this week and I have learnt so much myself, to be honest, from some of the people we’ve been interviewing and from you and the insights that we are sharing.
Matt: It’s always amazing! I love this time we spend together because even though we’re sharing our own insights on what we’ve already learned, I find we learn so much along the way as well. It’s a lot of fun, isn’t it?!
Barbara: Oh yeah, some of the insights that I have personally gained from some of the guests on the show and from you, have actually been shaping the business I am growing which is Virtual Angel Hub. You know, it’s really helped me a lot. So I can only imagine how much it’s helping those out there who are listening and maybe have just started with their first VA, you know just trying to get insights from people who’ve done it before. It’s a constantly evolving thing.
Matt: Absolutely, and lots of fun too.
Keeping it simple – The recurring task list
Barbara: Yes, I am excited about today’s show because we are going to be talking about something that is very close to my heart and that I have spent a lot of time teaching our clients how to do. It’s a concept called the ‘recurring task list’. It is something that is so pivotal that I feel, to get success with your virtual teams, it is something that I focus on a lot. It just alleviates a lot of the stress and pressure. The problem is though, that it is onerous to set up in the beginning and a lot of people avoid it. And when they avoid it, unfortunately, they can fall into massive holes later. So I always encourage people to really focus on this recurring task list as much as possible in the beginning, so you can have the freedom of using virtual teams later.
Matt: So, I agree with you. I think this is probably one of the most critical areas for success with your virtual teams. So Barb, let’s start with how did this evolve for you personally and then how it evolved with your clients.
Barbara: Yes, that is a great question actually Matt, because I didn’t wake up in the morning and decide, wow this is a great way to do it.
