    Business Plan Writing    

 

Having a business plan is essential to everyone taking your business seriously.  Everyone knows that you are more serious if you have an actual Business plan written.  Why you might ask?  A business plan serves many purposes, one of which is setting goals for your business.  In your business plan you outline where you are today, and where you would like to be in 5 years, and what it will take to get you there.  It is very detailed.  You say what equipment you would use, how many people would be working for you, and most of all what you are going to do to reach that goal. All of this might sound like a little much for you.  That’s ok!  We will help you write your Business Plan. We go through the whole process and help you every step of the way, or if you prefer we will get all the details, write it for you, and then go over it to make sure everything is right.

    Monthly Write-Ups    

 

During the career coaching process we will give you monthly write-ups.  Don’t worry they aren’t as bad as they sound, but more of a progress report.  We outline everything that was and was not accomplished for the month, we give you detailed information of the goals that were achieved, where you stand on goals that are still being worked on, and we give you a full write-up of what was good and bad for the month. We use these write ups to access where the process stands and what things need to be adjusted.

Time Management Strategies

 

Do you find yourself with too many things to get done and not enough time?  Do you get to the end of the day and find that the only thing that got done was answering the phone?  Do you often work after hours and on the weekend to get the stuff done that was suppose to be done during the week?  What you need is time management strategies.  We will help you to find the right time management strategies that will work with your schedule, work with what needs to be done, and work with eliminating unnecessary time doing things that need to be done once a day only.  We have lots of experience with time management strategies, after all, we wouldn’t be where we are today if we didn’t use time management strategies for ourselves.  Using time management strategies can make all the difference in today’s demanding work field.

Weekly Calls

 

As part of our career coaching we do weekly calls to find out how you are doing for the week.  If things aren’t working out, we offer advice and strategies on how to get back on the right track.  By offering weekly calls we help you stay on top of your goals and discuss issues as they arise and not weeks later when it may not be relevant anymore.  Also this helps to combat issues of lost motivation,  it helps to move you on to the next level sooner, and keeps your goals right in front of you on a weekly basis to keep them fresh in your head of where your going and how you are getting there.

 What is a Career Coach?

 

CEO's Virtual Assistant believes a career coach is someone who is motivational and a self starter. A career coach has to be able to move others during even the hardest time in their career. This is someone who is dedicated to you and your business.

 

A career coach will constantly hold you accountable for your actions and is not afraid to tell you if you are doing something wrong or some way that you could be doing it better.

 

To sum up in one sentence: A Career Coach is a motivational accountability partner who will always be truthful.
