Boosting Productivity: My Top 4 Systems & Tools as a Small Business Owner

Hey guys, it's your friendly neighbourhood Virtual Assistant here! Today, I want to talk about the top four systems and tools that I simply cannot live without. These tools help me stay organised, communicate with clients, and create beautiful content. So, without further ado, here are my top picks:

Asana

If you're a virtual assistant, you know that keeping track of tasks and deadlines can be a real challenge. That's where Asana comes in. This project management tool is a lifesaver when it comes to staying on top of my to-do list. I can create projects, assign tasks to team members, and set due dates all in one place. Plus, the platform has tons of helpful features like task comments and notifications.

Canva

As a virtual assistant, I'm often called upon to create social media graphics, blog post images, and other visual content. Canva is my go-to tool for all of my design needs. With its wide range of templates and design elements, even someone like me who has no formal design training can create professional-looking designs. Plus, the team feature makes it easy to collaborate with clients and other team members.

Voxer

Communication is key when you're a virtual assistant, and sometimes, a quick phone call or email just won't cut it. That's where Voxer comes in. This voice messaging app allows me to send and receive real-time voice messages, making it easy to have more in-depth conversations with clients and team members. Plus, the text messaging and photo sharing features make it a versatile communication tool.

Dubsado

Last but not least, we have Dubsado. This customer relationship management (CRM) tool is a game-changer when it comes to managing client relationships and invoicing. With Dubsado, I can create customised workflows, send contracts and invoices, and track my time all in one place. Plus, the platform is user-friendly and intuitive, which is a huge plus in my book.

So there you have it, folks - my top four systems and tools as a virtual assistant. Do you use any of these tools in your own business? Let me know in the comments!
