TRANSCRIPTION YouTube VIDEO : Create a Checklist! https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=T3uiowxn1rY&t=4s Create a Checklist. Hi There my name is Grace and I am the co-founder, owner, and creator of Filipino Virtual Assistance and allow me to encourage you to start creating a checklist. Many of us don’t know that a lot of successful business owners and enterprises follow a certain checklist in order to result some operation and systems with effectivity, efficiency and excellence. Like for example our favorite fast food on how to cook french fries, or how to make some spaghetti, or cook our chicken, we just enjoy them but we don’t know that in order to make it consistently, effective and efficient when it comes to taste and quality it needs to follow a checklist. How much more when us, the freelancer and those who work from home are wanting to be successful and efficient and effective as well when it comes to our output. We need to write our checklist, our to-do list, our schedules, our goals, our desires, our savings , everything that we want to see be achieved into a checklist. May it be our schedule for the day, our schedule for the week or for the month, or for the year even. It may be our menu or prayers, our goals, our desires, it may be our goals when it comes to clients, the training that we need to attend, the podcast that we need to listen, our finances, our weightloss goals. Whatever it may be, it needs to be tracked, we need to be accountable, that's why a checklist is very much needed. Like for example, I have here a small prayer book and I list all of the things that I pray all the time in this book. I have here my planner and all of my day, week, and month it’s all here, I list them all here. I also have this notebook in order to write all my meditation, surveilation, the things that I have in my heart. And we also have this and even have an online spreadsheet as well when it comes to our finances. So these are all “checklists” or notebook or planner that would detail all of the things that we want to accomplish or our goal and will empower us to be effective and efficient. Downstairs we also have some menu for the week, down here as you can see in my office I have my schedule for the whole year. So creating a checklist and write it in all down should be our number one focus. When it comes to waking up and before we go to sleep at night, we need to create our to-do list or the “success list'', just writing other things that we were able to accomplish. Whatever it may be, we need to create a checklist in order to make us accountable that we are able to track and we are able to monitor and evaluate later on so we know if we need to adjust, we know if we need to improve something to walk in a level of success. So this is it for our Monday motivation this week. I hope that this will empower you throughout the year and not just this year, but throughout your freelancing career and all aspects of your life. Start creating a checklist today. That would be all for now, thank you so much and god bless you all.
