I am so bad at 'detail'
I am excited, because later this year I am going to Bali on a holiday with the peeps from my CrossFit.
We are going to be lifting things but we will also be sight seeing and chilling out. Fun times!
The guy organising it, Stu, reached out to me and told me that he had not received my payment.
I was confused…because I had sent it?!
But upon further investigation…I had sent it…to the wrong person.
Argh…
I called the bank…and long story short I got the money bank and promptly transferred it into the correct bank account.
Why am I telling you this?
Well, it’s because this is not an isolated incident.
I am simply bad at detail.
These days it usually does not matter as I have a team to support me with all that detail…
From getting those decimals correct on the invoices.
To reconciling payments.
To updating the CRM.
To updating and sending out contracts and agreements.
Making sure that the i’s are dotted and the t’s are crossed on social media posts.
My team has me covered.
It’s just those odd times that I am left to stand on my own (like doing a direct transfer from my personal bank account) that I remember my deficit.
And you know what? I am not the only one.
Many business owners tell me they are bad at detail.
They have their heads in the clouds… in the strategy space (where it should be).
So they come to me looking for an organised, detail oriented virtual assistant who will help manage them.
It’s okay to be bad at detail. You just need to find a way to manage it.
