VP Article: Common Errors Committed by Real Estate Virtual Assistants
INSTRUCTIONS: BEFORE STARTING THE ACTIVITY, MAKE SURE TO READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
Use Loom to record yourself while reading the article aloud. You may split the reading into as many recordings as necessary. Afterward, reflect on all your past experiences as a virtual assistant, including both positive and negative experiences. Those times when we felt happy, pressured, or even depressed, so we can fully appreciate how far we’ve come and how we’ve grown through every season of our journey. In your Virtual Professionals notebook, write down one positive experience and one negative experience, and explain why you chose that experience. Be as detailed and honest as you can when describing each, with a total minimum of 200 words.
Take a photo of your output and send it following the instructions provided below. After taking a photo of your output, tear the page out and place it in a bottle, then store the bottle in a safe place. Or you can hide the torn page under your bed. Be sure not to open or read it after a year or when you part ways with Virtual Professionals. Make sure to keep track of when you should open the letter.
A year later: Open and read the letter, and reflect on how you’ve changed. Compare your current self to who you were in the past. Do you see any progress, or have you stayed the same? Are you happy, or is there still something you’re longing for?
DO NOT use ChatGPT or any AI tools to generate your output. However, you may use ChatGPT to check the grammar.
Important Note: As much as possible, do this activity when you are calm, not rushed, and when your mind is clear and relaxed. Avoid doing it during busy or stressful moments to fully benefit from the experience.
How To Send:
Using your VP Gmail, add the SUBJECT line: Activity 11: Time Capsule | VP Screen Name, and take a photo/s of your output and change the photo’s file name according to the sequence of the pages in your Virtual Professionals notebook. For example: Activity 11 (1), Activity 11 (2). Send it to info.virtualprofessionals@gmail.com and CC michelle.virtualprofessionals@gmail.com along with the Loom recording link/s.
Before sending the Loom recording, make sure to update the title of your recording. The file name should match the subject line of your email. If you have multiple recordings, include a number to indicate the sequence.
