The number one question I’m asked by the students who take my best-selling course Work from Home as a Virtual Assistant is “How do I get clients?” Ironically, not one student has ever asked me, “How to do I keep clients?” While the importance of getting clients can’t be argued, knowing how to keep them once you have them is equally important.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. If you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner—and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top (a concept first popularized by Marshall Goldsmith in his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There ). What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level.

Are you managing a startup with little or no sales as yet? Running on a lean skeleton crew of employees banking on your promises of success?

The most overlooked, yet most critical, element of transformation is preparing people for change. Automation and AI aren't just technical upgrades, they’re cultural shifts which can challenge identities. That’s why change management isn’t a side project—it’s the foundation.

Summer comes along and we all adjust to working in the heat it brings along, but working in high humidity is a whole other ball game. The most humid areas in the world are tropical seashores and coastal cities, and if you are planning a business trip to one of these areas any time soon, you need to be aware that it’s not just the temperatures that will be challenging, but the combination of temperature and humidity too.
