Gorilla sh*t? Wedding rings? Your brain might be wandering and wondering “How does this relate to virtual assistants?”

Well, here’s how your VA can be your best buddy in more than just business matters! When it comes to getting anything done, I mean ANYTHING. The scope of a VA goes from all business to personal to even funny pranks. So buckle up, this is going to be a more humorous session.

Listen to this. Most of my topics are all about applying VAs to your business life but this one is different. I have recently asked my world-class VA Kristina to assist me in an outlandish task. Did you know there is a service out there where you can actually send manure to anyone you want and it’s perfectly legal? (I will link the site I used below). One day I was pondering about who in my life has really grinded my gears.

99.9% of people in my life are great people but one woman came to mind. Back in my younger party years, this woman would call the police if our music was too loud instead of just asking me to turn it down and be somewhat neighborly. I accumulated multiple tickets over various semi-unjust events that totaled in the thousands. So I thought to myself, am I willing to spend $50 and send her a gallon of not only gorilla sh*t, but gorilla, cow, and elephant combined? Yes, yes I am.

So this bucket is currently en route to her house. It comes gift-wrapped in this nice box. (Here’s the link if you need a revenge tactic www.poopsenders.com). She’s going to open this package and get hit with the stench of ten pounds worth of gorilla sh*t. I am generally a pretty nice and easygoing guy but I paid A LOT in tickets and fines. And she qualified for this type of gift, so “Sorry for partying.”

And now, a maybe little less outlandish task- wedding rings. As I’m sure many of you who are married can relate, occasionally you may lose your wedding band. I am convinced my four-year-old daughter has a stash of all the ones I’ve “lost” somewhere in her room but, here I am, yet again, having to order another one.

I really don’t want to go through the hassle of getting another band and nor do I remember my ring size. I sent my VA on an online quest to find a company to send me rings to try on and then purchase. I trust my VA to pick out a ring and send me options. Ordered. Done. No time was spent sitting in a store, talking to sales associates, or even researching online. Not to mention, my wife is happy about it too!

Gorilla sh*t, wedding rings, and everything in between. These are just small ways that you can leverage and delegate anything you want to your VA. They can help with personal matters like finding a handyman, getting a babysitter, handling errands, getting a new lawn guy, etc. They can not only find these people for you but find your highest-rated options and leverage multiple quotes to drive down your cost.

Let your VA make calls, go on Craigslist, post ads, etc., and do all that grunt work for you. I have Kristina do personal tasks like that all the time. So, I strongly encourage, even if you’re not in the business world, that these are creative, funny, and somewhat clever ways to utilize your versatile VA. From gorilla sh*t to wedding rings, and everything in between baby! That’s a wrap.
