🎀 6 months of Red Bow today! I can’t believe how fast it’s gone and how much I’ve learned already…
Here are 6 things I’ve learned in 6 months of being a business owner / VA:
1. Track the time. Toggl has been a game-changer for keeping me accountable, pricing fairly, and showing clients exactly where the hours go (it also stops me undercharging 🙈).
2. Show your face. The minute I started popping up more on stories/posts, people engaged more. Turns out… people really do buy from people!
3. Your network matters. My first clients came through friends, family and referrals. Skills matter (obviously 😅) but relationships open the door.
4. Flexibility wins. This is the biggest one for me 🥰I love being able to plan my days around life, not the other way round. I’m genuinely so much happier.
5. Systems save you. Templates, checklists, and a simple routine = less stress, fewer mistakes, and quicker turnaround. “Future me” thanks “past me” daily!
6. Boundaries protect you. Clear expectations (what’s included, what isn’t, timelines, how we communicate) make everything smoother for everyone.
If you’ve been thinking about getting support with admin/socials/your never-ending to-do list, drop me a message 💌
