Are You Feeling Out of Control?

As a business owner or leader, do you often feel completely out of control? The constant influx of tasks, deadlines, and responsibilities can leave you feeling like you're drowning. You're not just overwhelmed; you're struggling to keep your head above water. Tasks pile up, from what you need to do right now, to what you should have done yesterday, and everything looming on the horizon.

Embracing The "Mind Like Water" Mantra

Bruce Lee had a powerful mantra: "mind like water." What does this mean? Imagine how water reacts when you drop a pebble into it—it ripples gently. It doesn't overreact by creating a tidal wave, nor does it underreact by staying completely still. As business owners and leaders, we should strive to respond to challenges in this balanced way. However, when we feel out of control, even minor issues can cause us to overreact or, conversely, lead to inaction and missed opportunities.

Achieving An "Empty Mind"

To achieve a "mind like water," we need what focus management expert David Allen calls an "empty mind." An empty mind has the space to be present, creative, and focused. Yet, our minds are often too cluttered to reach this state. We need to offload our mental burdens, ensuring that every task is addressed at the right time. But how do we get there?

The Role Of An Executive Assistant

This is where a great Executive Assistant (EA) comes in. An EA can take on the burden of those countless tasks that are clogging up your mind. Imagine having someone you can trust to handle the details, manage your schedule, and ensure nothing slips through the cracks. With an EA, you can reclaim your focus and regain that sense of control. They act as a buffer, allowing you to concentrate on what truly matters—leading your business to success.

If you already have an EA, leverage their skills to the fullest. If you don't, we can help. Our expertise lies in connecting leaders with their perfect match for support, whether it's an Executive Assistant or another type of virtual assistant.
