Dear Client,
Welcome to INNOVATE!, an administrative resource for small business owners. INNOVATE! is a product of Cybertary, a professional Virtual Assisting company. In these monthly emails we will be giving you numerous resources and tips you can use in your business, your home, your office and your life. Do you need a vacation? Summer is here and many people are taking time to get away to enjoy some well-earned respite. But often business owners and entrepreneurs get so caught up in the day-to-day busy-ness of their business that it is difficult to take a vacation at all. In this month's newsletter we highlight ways that you can automate and delegate to truly "vacate" on your next vacation.
Enjoy!

It's important to recognize this and to be proactive in addressing these issues. This article includes some ideas to consider as you travel for your professional responsibilities (although most apply for personal travel as well).
Travel, whether for business or for pleasure, is a challenge. Make it more productive for yourself by following one or more of the suggestions in this article. Apply one or more of these for your very next trip. Be clear on your intent to be more productive. |

 Your kids are on their summer break. You are extremely busy, and could use some extra hands. They are bored, and asking for money to do something fun. As a business owner, you could create a win-win solution by asking your kids to help you with some basic tasks in the office and paying them for their efforts.
Today’s kids are increasingly showing interest in learning about entrepreneurship. By helping you in your office they are exposed to “real world” business experiences that they may not otherwise have until much later in life. You can nurture that entrepreneurial spirit by putting your kids to work.
