Why Being a Virtual CEO is Going to Make Me a Better Dad – The Importance of Setting Goals

I have three awesome kids. I genuinely love being a Dad. But, if I was to be honest, I have missed out on a few things. Kick-starting my career as a young professional, working several jobs to pay the rent, creating my own businesses, building those businesses… It takes its toll. However, all that is about to change.

When I started the beginning of 2010 I set myself a goal. I sat down and I made a big, long list of things I would need to do to achieve that goal. As I get closer and closer to accomplishing my mission of becoming a Virtual CEO (more on that journey coming up soon!), I am starting to make a different type of list. Today I thought I would share some of the things on that list.

First up, thank you so much for all the great comments and feedback on this short video series.

Location: Company HQ – Reading / Viewing Time: 4mins

Hi everyone! First up, I’d like to thank you all in advance, for continuing to tune into the Virtual Business Lifestyle blog here in it’s infancy (we’re about 6 weeks old!) and helping to spread the word slowly, but surely. The ReTweet’s, Comments, Emails and such are a continued inspiration and I promise to continue to do my best to create as solid content as possible going forward.

Today I got into the office and inspected the latest expansion wing at the Live2Sell offices, which was just finished. It adds an additional 50 seats for our outsourced staff to work from, with clients around the world, and I am particularly proud of this expansion as it comes just 3 months after our last one. We’ve all worked very hard, and it seems to be paying off.

The reason why I shot this very quick video was because I wanted to point out how important it is to look into other options to be able to automate and streamline, as well as grow and expand, your own businesses this year. 2009 was a tough year for a lot of people.
