After leaving network marketing in 2013, I became a virtual assistant while also working a full time job in corporate.

The skills I had and developed along the way allowed me to become an Online Business Manager and COO for a digital marketing company.

What I love about what I do is that there are so many opportunities to earn income. If you want to learn more about what types of skills you need, take a look at the blog this week: https://www.scaleandflow.com/blog/how-to-become-a-virtual-assistant

I am seeing a lot of hate, jealously and judgement in the world today. I don't remember everyone's opinion being so loud as in the last few years. 😔

Learn to ignore the noise and keep being you. The world needs more people that have thick skin and strong values. If you see everyone doing something keep doing the opposite!

Sometimes I think emails could be the death of me. 🥵

I have a total of three work emails, and two personal emails. I feel like I'm tied to checking on them so many times in a day much like some people are tied to checking Facebook or TikTok.

I realized most of these email are not even urgent to check either. So they essentially are time wasters.

This past week I decided to do a purge of my Google email accounts and boy do I feel great! While purging I set up some additional settings so that I don't have to sift through unnecessary emails and only see the real urgent ones in my inbox. After I was done, I am not seeing 30 to 100 emails in my inbox of anymore and if I ever have to go searching for an email I can find them easily.

I think this "purge" will also help you.

I've been using Gmail since 2007 and have learned some tricks along the way. Here are my top nine tips for organizing your email.

👉Imagine a world without laws and rules. A community without guidelines. A busy highway without road and traffic codes. It is kind of chaotic, right? That’s what it looks like for a company without an established standard operating procedure.

No matter how big or small your business is, having a defined structure and system is vital to ensure a venture’s success. Every business—online or offline—heavily relies upon a set of procedures to achieve a favorable result in every business operation. It also brings order, control, and harmony within the company.

For online entrepreneurs, creating a standard operating procedure (SOP) for their organization seems like a counterintuitive endeavor. They are not fans of imposed rules and structures since it goes against what they promote, which is creativity, versatility, and flexibility. They want a working environment where employees are free to express their creative minds.

However, established procedures are one of the core foundations of a successful business. For online businesses, SOPs need not be a slab of thick, boring, and complex compilation of business processes. You can create one that is simple but functional.

Here are smart ways on how to create SOPs for your online business.
