What helps you to develop or drive your inspiration & creativity? If you are a professional or business owner it can be very easy to get stuck in a rut and lose a sense of your creativity, motivation and inspiration. A part of running a business is creativity.
You have to stay on your toes and create the next best thing to keep your business in demand. You may think of being creative in an artistic sense, creative problem solving or a creative new outlook on business.
When you have these moments in business, where you lose your inspiration, creativity and motiviation; you can forget what motivated you to start business in the first place. You can lose your passion for business in times like these. Soon your work piles up, customers/ clients/ employees or business partners complain, a huge emergency comes, bills pile up and drive you up the wall.
During the time that this is happening your inspiration and creativity gets smashed while your trying to handle everything. Some form of creativity is needed in business. Everyone needs some form of creativity in their lives. It can help you to market your business better. From time to time you’ll get stuck in a creative rut and need that inspiration again.
So how do you get out of a creative rut and back on track?
How do you reclaim your inspiration?
What gets your creative juices flowing again?
Could it be a walk in the park?, talking to people, taking a trip, getting away from work, reading, enjoying art, relaxing, exercising, sleeping etc…. I have felt the pain of a creative rut from time to time. Getting out, getting some fresh air such as: a short drive, a walk in the park, going to an art gallery, relaxing and getting some alone time for myself has helped me.
A great business skill is having a good way to get out a creative rut so you can enjoy business & life again.
So tell me, how do you get unstuck and get your creative juices flowing again?

Money management is very critical to business and should not be taken lightly. Once you get your business cash under control, set up in a system to help manage it, you must stay on top of it. It helps to keep your business in business.
Without it you may not be in business very long. You must stay on top of your business finances, maintain a positive cash flow because a negative cash flow can cause your business to crash.
Cash flow is the amount of money being spent or recieved in a business. It is very important to manage your cash flow. If you are a solo-entrepreneur or small business you must keep your personal money seperate from company money. Some business owners lump all their money together and just take out what they need to pay themselves. That is a very bad mistake and you can’t stay on a budget like that. It would be harder to maintain your business cash flow.
Many business owners fail to properly manage their cash flow. If you can’t do it alone get someone to help like an accountant, bookkeeper, business partner, financial planner etc…
Once you learn how to manage, budget and stay on top of your money, you’ll know how much you have on hand, what you can and can’t spend. Learning how to manage your money will help you to prepare for future expenses or problems.
1. DO THE MATH
Your cash flow is the movement of money in and out of a business. Cash has two parts: cash inflow and cash outflow. If you sale goods or services that equals your cash inflow. Paying for business expenses is your cash outflow. Once you manage your inflow and outflow you’ll know how much money that you have on hand, what you can and can’t spend. You’ll also know how much you can budget for future expenses or emergencies.
2. CREATE A PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT
When you create your business plan, as you move along in business, it should contain various financial statements. Those statements are profit & loss statements. You will eventually change or adjust your business plan as your business needs change or grow.
In your profit and loss statement it shows your revenues expenses from your cash inflow and outflow. Complete your profit and loss statements before completing your cash flow statement. Once you do this over a period of time you will have historical data to base cash inflow and outflows on.
3. CREATE A CASH FLOW STATEMENT
Include a month-by-month cash flow statement in your business plan. It will measure your cash flow over a period of time. Some businesses may need a loan, developing a cash flow statement will show the loan officer if you can afford the loan payments and if you are worth the risk.
4. GET MONEY MANAGEMENT HELP
Learning how to create and manage your business cash flow is important to your business success. If you can’t do it alone get someone to help like an accountant, bookkeeper, lawyer, business partner, financial planner etc….
Managing your company’s cash flow takes great skill and you have to stay on top of it. You have to be able to balance between projected inflows and outflows. You may need an expert. You should never have excessive expenses in the form of interest on a large cash balance. In addition, there should never be a negative cash balance that may cause a temporary break in production.
A cash flow statement is a sign of a company’s financial strength and stability.

Have you ever took into consideration workplace safety guidelines for yourself? If you have a home office you may think that there is not much to worry about but you still have to maintain a safe & comfortable working environment even in a home office. Some guidelines that you can set are ergonomic guidelines for safety measures. A business that has employees has to set safety guidelines for them, so why not set some for yourself?
What’s Ergonomics?
ERGONOMICS: design factors set for the workplace, intended to maximize productivity, by minimizing operator fatigue and discomfort. The scientific study of equipment design, as in office furniture or transportation seating, for the purpose of improving efficiency, comfort or safety.
It’s the science behind making your workplace safe, comfortable, healthy and to fit your body as much as possible. Many people suffer from repetitive stress injuries (RSI) such as carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive strain injuries (RSI) like myalgia( muscle pain, soreness in neck, upper back, shoulders wrists or hands) because of little or no ergonomic guideline. If they do have them many people don’t follow them. On the side of precautions set some safety guidelines today! 
1. Find the correct seating. Choose an adjustable chair that allows you to sit up straight, one that supports your lower back, it should allow you to plant your feet flat on the floor and your legs at a 90 degree angle.
2. Adjust your computer screen. Make sure that the top of your computer screen is at eye level or lower. You should never sit close to any computer or tv screen, keep a comfortable distance away from the screen such as 18-25 inches away. Adjust your screen resolution, picture, color & sound quality so that you won’t be tempted to sit extra close to the screen. If you can’t do it get someone to help.
3. Correct your typing. When you are typing make yourself comfortable by placing your arms and elbows at a good level at your side. Try to avoid your wrists from resting keep them moving. Above all things, don’t pound the keys, just lightly touch them. Keep your mouse very close so you don’t have to reach far.
4. Try to place your computer in a central location towards all of your needed materials while you work on the computer. That way you won’t have to do a lot of twisting & turning to get to things. Sometimes a U-shaped desk is good. If you are typing from a piece of paper keep it in front of you like slightly to the side. Don’t type from papers or things that will make you do a lot of turning to read them.
5. Combat the stiffness. You can’t sit in front of a computer all day so get up and stretch some. Take a break from the computer screen and let your eyes rest and walk around. Try to move away from the computer for more than 10 minutes. When you return you will be refreshed and you can focus on your work and the screen better.

Don’t just leave your passion at the door bring it in with you. Where did you lose the passion for business, your get up & go ?

The benefits of working with a Virtual Assistant are numerous. I have listed a few of the many benefits that you will gain when you work with a Virtual Assistant.

BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT
1. ACCELERATE YOUR GROWTH, GAIN MORE TIME
TO FOCUS ON OTHER ASPECTS OF BUSINESS OR LIFE
The many administrative tasks of running a business can be overwhelming. The best way to grow your business quickly is to focus more of your time & energy on growing your business like networking & getting out in the business market. Leave everything else to your Virtual Assistant-Clerical Business Solutions.
2. YOU DON’T HAVE TO PROVIDE OFFICE SPACE.
A Virtual Assistant works from their own office. This is really great if you don’t want someone in your home or office taking up extra space or if you don’t have the funds to get extra office space for an assistant.
3. YOU DON’T HAVE TO PROVIDE EXTRA EQUIPMENT
Virtual Assistants use their own equipment to provide services to you. They are responsible for their own offices and equipment. This can be a big cost savings to you.
4. YOU ONLY PAY FOR THE WORK THAT YOU REQUEST.
Virtual Assistants only charge for the work that they do for you. Unlike having a temp or an employee, with a Virtual Assistant, there are no extra temp or employment agency fees to pay. You don’t pay for federal or local government employee fees. Also you don’t pay for any employee benefits or insurance for a Virtual Assistant.
5. YOU SAVE TIME BY NOT PERFORMING TASKS THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TIME FOR
You can just hand over your time consuming tasks to YOUR Virtual Assistant-Clerical Business Solutions. Your best time is spent working in your business & growing your business. When you delegate necessary administrative tasks like bookkeeping, writing, shopping cart set-up, contacting clients, website & blog maintenance & typing to your Virtual Assistant, it will allow you more time to develop your business, build business relationships with your clients, get out in the business market or focus on family.
6. YOU GAIN MORE FREEDOM TO WORK ON IMPROVING YOUR BUSINESS SKILLS, LIFE SKILLS, EDUCATION, KNOWLEDGE & OTHER RELATIONSHIPS.
Many business owners have a vision for their business. Many business owners are held up by tight schedules which can limit how quickly you can move forward in achieving goals that you have set for your business & yourself. With help from a Virtual Assistant, you have more time for the things that matter most to you which bring more fullfillment to your life.
7. YOU GAIN A PARTNER IN YOUR BUSINESS OR PROJECTS TO “BOUNCE” IDEAS OFF OF
Having a Virtual Assistant as a “sounding board” is a great benefit towards you moving ahead in your business or projects and improving on them. You & YOUR Virtual Assistant-Clerical Business Solutions can build a great business relationship together, which is an added benefit to improving on your business or projects. Their strengths, backgrounds and expertise can provide beneficial input through which you can see your business problems or projects.
8. GAIN YOUR SANITY & PEACE OF MIND, KNOWING THAT YOUR DETAILS ARE BEING MANAGED BY A PROFESSIONAL
Details, Details, Details, many professionals find themselves swamped with details. There are things on top of things to take care of. Such as paying bills, making schedules, updating client database, contacting clients, networking, sending out products, maintaining great customer service and more.
You have hundreds if not thousands of details that you have to stay on top of. It gets to the point where you have to juggle so many things. All these things can lead to stress, being unorganized, mental & physical exhaustion. When you turn over these things to your Virtual Assistant-Clerical Business Solutions, you become stress free, improve your productivity and get more done faster.

There are many identity theft schemes that use the IRS name in order to get your personal information. They come to you through unsolicited phone calls, unsolicited emails from the IRS (Internal Revenue Service). Be careful because you are not talking to the IRS like you may think that you are.
There have been over 200 complaints about phishing schemes reported to the Internet Crime Complaint Center since 2006. These phishing schemes falsely use the IRS name as bait. Now the scammers have new tricks up their sleeves. They use personalized email greetings, the promise of tax rebates, sometimes threats to get you to give up your personal information. Don’t fall for these tactics.
Don’t give out your personal information to anyone that you have not contacted yourself. If they say that they are the IRS then call the IRS for yourself to verify their claims before you give out your information.
Don’t fall for these IRS scams:
Scam # 1. Tax Refund Emails
The scammers will use the IRS name & logo in an email to fool you. Contact the IRS if you receive one of these emails to verify if the IRS really did send you the email. The IRS name & logo may look real but look closely at the footer on the bottom of the email it will have a copyright 2008, IRS U.S.A. That may look real but it usually is copied and pasted onto the email. Most scams come from overseas and have a lot of misspelled words, incorrect grammer etc…
Also the subject line may have “Notice From the IRS” and have IRS in the domain name. Some emails will have a link in the email for you to click in order to claim your refund. Don’t click this link. If you do it will take you to a fake IRS claim form for you to fill out with all of your personal information. They want your social security number or the numbers of your family members, credit card numbers, address and/ or your bank account information.
That gives a wealth of information to criminals. The scammers will use it for identiy theft or sell it on the black market. Don’t get so curious to click the link in these emails because you just may download malware onto your computer which will hunt for your personal information. ”Curiousoty killed the cat”
The IRS will not use emails to tell you about your refunds or rebates. If you are expecting a refund or rebate check out the IRS, Where’s My Refund Tool to locate your refund. Report fake emails & phishing scams to phishing@irs.gov .
- IRS Tax Forms 1-800-892-3676
- IRS 24Hour/ 7 days Tax Info, Refund Status 1-800-829-4477
- IRS Tax Help Line (Individuals)1-800-829-1040,(Business)1-800-829-4933
- IRS Refund Hotline 1-800-829-1954
- IRS Tax Fraud Violations 1-800-829-0433
- National Taypayer Advocate 1-877-777-4778
- Tax Exempt Government Entities 1-877-829-5500
Scam # 2. Rebate Phone Calls
For many years there have been fake phone callers who impersonate IRS employees. They tell you that you can get your rebate early for filing your taxes early. The scammers will ask for your bank account information and if you refuse then they will deny your refund. That’s a lie so don’t fall for it. The scammers will use current events in American Government to fool you. They are using the recently passed rebate legislation by Congress as a con.
If you get one of these phone calls just hang up the phone and call the IRS for yourself to check it out. Your real notification of a rebate will come in a letter from the IRS not an email. Checks will start coming out in May. If you want your money direct deposited you must include it in your tax return.
Scam # 3. Check Verification Phone Calls
A fake IRS employee calls consumers telling them that the IRS mailed them a check that you haven’t cashed and ask for your bank account information. The IRS will never call you about not cashing a check. The IRS doesn’t mind if you don’t cash it right away. To see what’s happening to your rebate check out the IRS, Where’s My Refund Tool.
Lesson To Learn :
The IRS communicates with taxpayers through the U.S. Postal mail. To report fake scams, fake phone calls and emails to phishing@IRS.gov .
Scam # 4. Audit Emails
Audit emails is a new scam which will threaten you or scare you into giving up your personal information. They tell you that your refund will not be granted to you because your tax refund is being audited. It also includes a link to a fake form for you to fill out.
These emails will greet you by your name. They get this information from social networking sites and hacked computers to target their emails.
The IRS does not send out unsolicited emails or phone calls.
