    Free Business Tips for Remote Workers

    If you look in the menu bar area of this blog website (or click here) you can grab a free copy of my business tips document. It was created to help support new independent LiveOps agents who have been coming on board to work as part of the team I am on. I wrote this because I am a successful remote worker who has been mentoring other remote workers to help them become successful, also.

    If you choose to share the business tips document, please remember to share the whole document so I can receive proper attribution for my work. (This document contains a Creative Commons share-alike license.)

    NEW JOURNAL NOW IN ONLINE STORE! You can also now purchase the Transformation Journal for Remote Workers, which contains more than just tips, it gives you guidance for goal setting and planning your independent remote worker business.

    ~ Coach Donna Marie

    I am still enjoying my work as an independent LiveOps agent, and it still comes with its challenges, like every other part of life. One of the most recent challenges was that I had some health challenges I was recovering from, and this interrupted my work schedule. I made the mistake of not tracking my time properly… but not anymore. I developed a tracker to help me do better.

    While recovering my health, the main challenge I had was being able to sit for more than an hour. So, I had to stagger my shifts more so that I could take more frequent breaks. This was devastating for my ability to keep track of my hours in my head like I used to do. I had to pivot to using my own tracking system so that I could compare my records to the client’s records to ensure none of my very scattered disorganized shifts were missed.

    Now that I am feeling better, I am using the tracking system to help me ramp up my work more so that I can achieve higher goals. So, the tracking started as a necessity to prevent a crisis, and now I have been able to pivot it as a planner to help me be more proactive with goal setting. If you’d like a copy of the tracking template, let me know so that I can make that available through my online store, also.

    OUR PARTNERS FOR THE CO-WORKING COMMUNITY

    This co-working group is in partnership with Wanda Duncan of Black Women Trvl.

    Thank you again to Jessica for hosting co-working almost daily for the Vaycarians, including on Thursday’s (my usual day to host) during my summer hiatus. If you’re not yet part of that awesome Vaycarious community, join Stephanie Perry’s Patreon so you can gain access to her discord.

    (See their community links below.)

    Thanks again to Wanda, Jessica, and Stephanie for seeing the value of co-working and supporting me in my endeavors to partner with Jessica in creating a thriving co-working community that helps us all get more results as we focus and get important stuff done within a 2-hour time frame.

    Regarding Mentorship and Coaching

    MENTORSHIP

    This co-working group is a form of mentorship, and being part of this community is highly empowering. We learn a ton from each other every time, during our breaks in between each working Pomodoro. We also support each other and encourage each other, during our weekly sessions and beyond the session. That is mentorship.

    COACHING

    Coaching is a higher-value service that is much more systematic and intentional. So, as an added perk for higher tier patrons, you will be able to access the co-working journal to use for writing down your intentions and tracking your progress as you take action on them during each weekly co-working session. This is a form of coaching that is done via guided journaling.

    FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES

    Other modes of mentorship or coaching beyond the co-working may be added in the future, as the community grows, but for now, this is plenty. This co-working is enough to provide you with an empowering mentorship community, and if you’re investing in yourself to receive coaching, you will have access to the journal and to other live coaching opportunities that go beyond the Thursday session.
