Do You Lack T-'N-T? I Found a Solution

Do You Lack T-'N-T ?

T'NT

Do You Lack Time and Tech-ability?

No, I am not suggesting blowing up your computer or resigning from the modern world of technology, but I would like to share with you my solution.

First, thanks to all those who noticed my new photo. (I earned 1080 AR points for uploading)

Second, In the past I have read many posts written by ActiveRain members explaining in detail technology 'How To' with examples & video. I can't tell you how often I have printed their directions or bookmarked the posts. I never added up the hours I have spent dutifully trying to follow each step.

9 of 10 times I quit in absolute frustration and just walked away from my computer for awhile. Otherwise I might have been tempted to blow it up.

Further, With all you have on your 'To Do List', do you ever get done and really have a chance to relax? Do you ever get to the bottom of your list? Well, neither do I.

I Have a Solution

Now, did you notice my new logo and signature? Well, I can only take credit for the idea and for hiring

Second Self Virtual Assistance. The team of Pamela Cendejas, Heather Chavez and Crystal Morris (ActiveRain members) deserve all the credit for my ActiveRain Makeover and for creating my new Fan Page on Facebook. (Sign up for Mary's Free Tips)

Join me in congratulating them on a job well done.

If you don't have the time or the 'tech-ability', go to their website Second Self Virtual Assistance for a full list of the services offered by Pamela, Heather and Crystal.

Good Morning Mary, like your new look.

Your blog just popped in above Richard Weisser's blog on not being able to do a good job for all, not enough time. You have the solution.

We never worked with virtual assistance, maybe we will check that out some day soon.

All right I like that I am off to facebook to see what I can learn.

Mary.....I will be taking a page out of your book.....I'm meeting with my website people this week....I now have new domain names with geographical locations in them....I'm going to get this right if it's the last thing I accomplish.

Wow! Good morning everyone. Glad tha I can give good advice on Saturday morning before grocery shopping and grandkids for lunch and adult company for dinner tonight.

Hi All & Peggy,

Maybe I shoud look for Richard Weisser and offer some assistance. The name at least.

Thanks for the compliment. Have a great weekend!

Mary

Mark & Tim--I appreciate your visit here and on my Facebook page and I am glad that I can help.

Barbara--You sound as determined as I did, but I got too frustrated to do it all myself. What a stress reliever to turn the job over to real experts in the field.

Mary, I will have to check out your new FB page. If there is one thing I've learned is that if it is outside of my scope of expertise...ask for help!

Wanda--we think alike. An expert gets the job done in 1/10 the time it take a novice. Have a great weekend.

Mary....Nice new look! It does pay to let the experts do the job. Congratulations on selecting Second Self Virtual Assistants.

Mary,

I like the new you as well. You have described me; I'm tech-challenged.

Mary,

They say the sign of a great administrator is found in the quality of the individual they can attract. I might add it's found in their ability to delegate what they don't do well to others. JMHO

Steve

Mary, Mary, Mary - It is I who would like to thank you for the opportunity to provide you with the real estate support services you needed. You are a joy to work with. We love our Realtors(R) and you're definitely at the top of that list! Enjoy your weekend!

You're so sweet, Mary. We at Second Self truly appreciate making our clients happy. Thanks for the kudos.

Hello Carra,

I am so glad that I listened to their segment on your BlogTalkRadio program. Pamela, Heather and Crystal were so knowledgeable and professional about their business and the importance of projecting the right image.

Thanks,

Mary

Terry--Well now you can do what I did. Good luck.

Steve--Thanks for the compliment. Now I can enjoy the grandkids this afternoon knowing my work is done.

Pamela--You & your team were a pleasure to work with. They took my ideas and made them look good. (and me, too) Next I will get my son-in-law updated so we can promote his business on the web. Thanks!!!!!

Heather--I am so glad you and I connected here at ActiveRain last year. Friends and business really do work well together. Thanks for both.

Mary,

So happy to hear that the blogtalkradio show helped you in your decision to use Second Self Virtual Assistance... they have been helping me with some optimization and clean up too! Pam, Heather and Crystal all Rock!

They sure do Rock, Carra. Next I plan to write the review I promised you, but I need to finish the book first.

Mary, thanks for having the courage to acknowledge how less-than-intuitive some of this tech stuff is! I enjoy learning and working at it, but knowing when to call in the pros and hand things off is super important.

I love your new look and signature.

Lottie--Call in the pros. That is the right description of my desperation.

And thanks for the compliment.

Very col stuff Mary - I love the new pic and look. Those gals at Second Self are as professional as they are nice. Calling in the pro's is a very good thing!

Good morning Anna,

Thanks for the compliment-new look. I love your visits.

Having someone to do everything for you sounds great. Being a control freak(at times) i don't know if it would work for me.

Hi Robert,

It is nice to see you this afternoon. Hope all is well.

Mary

Oh Mary, you don't know how many times I have walked away from the computer in frustration! I've thought more and more often about contacting Second Self. I may just do that exact thing very soon.

Irene--Second Self is wonderful. I can't say enough about them. When you get frustrated enough you will call them.

You are always so right on with the advice, Mary! Thanks for nudging us in a more productive direction!

Deena--It worked for me and I know it will work for you, too.

That Anna Banana is really great, too. Thanks, Anna. I appreciate your comment.

Pamela--I agree.

Hello Mary and I think your post is wonderful and worth a feature at .......

VB--Thanks so much! You made my evening, but the Second Self deserve all the credit.

Hey, Robert - I just checked out and joined your AR group. Love the concept!

Pamela--"VB" Bob has several fun groups & he is a great photographer, too.

Thanks for the heads-up, Mary. I'll have to check out VB's other groups, too. Enjoy your day!
