It’s that time of year again. We’re winding down this year and about to begin 2014. What are your goals for your virtual assistant business in 2014?
My husband and I take two weeks off at the end of every year and shut down our businesses so we can focus on our businesses instead of working in them. We evaluate what worked and what didn’t work. Then we make a plan for the new year. I suggest you take some time in the next few weeks to sit down and write down ten goals for your virtual assistant business in 2014.
To get your creative juices flow with ideas for goals, here are 10 goals you might choose to have for your virtual assistant business in 2014:
- Add one new client each month of the year.
- Raise your rates by 10%.
- Offer an added-value feature for your existing clients.
- Commit to posting at your blog regularly.
- Start using Pinterest. If you already are using Pinterest, create a new board with tips for your clients.
- Add 5 new connections to each of your social media networks every week.
- Learn a new skill that you can offer to your clients.
- Join an online virtual assistant forum and interact weekly.
- Create a procedures manual for your repetitive tasks and ask another VA to review them. This will come in handy if you need to take some time off and hand your tasks off to someone else for a bit.
- Plan to take a week off at the end of 2014 to plan your business goals for 2015.
I’d love to hear what your goals will be in 2014. Please share them in the comments so other virtual assistants can get some ideas as well.

Let’s make 2014 the best year yet!
