I’m currently in Venezuela, and I’m supposed to continue working for my clients as a Virtual assistant and accountability partner, writing in WordPress (I try to post once per month), renew my passport, plan my 2026, and enjoy time with my family.
I’m just remembering the difficult way something that I always tell my accountability partners: “We have limits… sometimes we can’t do all we want at the same time.”
Unfortunately, I have to keep it realistic and simplify what I do while I’m still here. My family is a priority, as I see them only once per year… so the time I have set up appart for them won’t be removed.
I didn’t brought my computer with me, which means I also have limitations regarding the things I can actually do for my clients, so I have paused my virtual assistance services.
Many of my accountability partners are on vacation, so they practically were the ones who gave me free time (with some exceptions).
Posting in WordPress is a bit easier… I’ll publish this and it will be the last thing I publish this year (I send my respect to all the wonderful bloggers who actually post consistently).
And… now the most difficult part… Planning 2026. One of the things I’m doing is following Deya’s plan to grow my baby business 🙂 I will share the video below. https://youtu.be/5cFmOZG-LfU?si=u-mjZV_wp6llA_Pw
She also has a wonderful notion list (I think it’s on the video), and I have been, little by little, completing it. My plan for 2026 is to setup at least one hour per day (between 2:15 COT and 4:15 COT) to complete the list.
I will also record a new video for my Fiverr gig 🙂 I will publish it here for you to see (and judge), if you want. Just let me know in the comments!
