I've known for some time that building and growing an email list is good practice for any small business. It's something I've put off doing, despite knowing the benefits.

But this year I've been doing a lot of work behind the scenes on my own business, and this is one of the things I've finally decided to tackle. Why now?

It makes me nervous seeing stories of celebrities losing millions of followers following Meta's crackdown on bot and inactive accounts. I've also seen local businesses have their social media accounts hacked or even closed by Meta.

It got me thinking. We put so much effort into building our social media following, but ultimately, we don't own that space. The platform controls who sees our posts, and the rules can change at any time. If you woke up tomorrow to find your account had disappeared, how would you contact your customers? How would you let them know you're still here? It's a good reminder that we need to build connections with our customers that aren't entirely dependent on social media.

So, having made the decision to get my own email list up and running, I started thinking about what I could offer as a useful free resource.

The result is my FREE Small Business Admin MOT.

I've created it to help you review your business admin foundations, spot any gaps and identify areas that might need a little attention.

And because I wanted to offer something beyond the initial download, I've also been working on my new Monthly Admin Tips email, packed with practical ideas, useful reminders and a little glimpse of life beyond the laptop.

It's taken me a while to get here, but I'm really pleased to finally be sharing it!
Fancy giving your business admin a little MOT?

October is coming to a close, and Christmas will be here before we know it! (yes I went there!!)

Now is a good time to take a step back and look at your business before the festive rush begins. Ask yourself:

🔹 What's working well in my business?
🔹 What's taking up more of my time than it should?
🔹 What keeps getting pushed to the bottom of my list?
🔹 What could I hand over to someone else?

Wouldn't it be lovely to reach Christmas feeling organised, rather than trying to clear a mountain of admin before you can switch off for the holidays?

Sometimes, you don't need to completely change how you work. You just need a little support with the tasks that are taking up your time.

If you'd like a helping hand to get things in order before the festive season, drop me a message to find out how I could help.

Are you a business owner answering emails late at night, chasing invoices and struggling to find time to work on the tasks that will move your business forward?

Your time is valuable. Every hour spent on admin is an hour you could be spending on other areas of your business.

Bringing in a Virtual Assistant can help take some of those day-to-day tasks off your hands, giving you more time to focus on what you do best.

And it's not just about saving time. Having support can help you make better use of your working hours, too.

What could you achieve with a few extra hours in your week?

If you're ready to take some admin off your plate, get in touch to book a free discovery call and let's chat about how I could help!

One of the questions I hear most is: "I don't think I have enough work for a VA."

The reality? Many of my clients only need a few hours each month to make a difference.

Sometimes it's regular support. Sometimes it's help with a particular task or project. Sometimes it's simply having someone take care of those jobs that keep getting pushed further down the list.

And you don't always need to add lots of hours to notice the benefit.

I recently took on some additional regular work for a client and increased their monthly support by just one hour. That small amount of extra support has meant they can get more of their own work moving forward, rather than having it sitting on the to-do list.

That's what a few hours of the right support can do.

You don't need a mountain of admin to benefit from having support.

It's not about handing over a huge amount of work. It's about getting the right things off your plate so you can get back to the things you actually want to be doing.

If you've been wondering whether you have enough work for a VA, perhaps the better question is: Would having a little support make a difference to you?

If the answer is yes, let's have a chat.

Well, after three years of monthly reviews, I've decided it's time for a little change!

I've really enjoyed putting these together over the years, but as LMVA has evolved, I felt it was time to move to quarterly reviews. So, rather than looking back at what happened each month, I'll now be taking a look at the last three months as a whole.

The summer brought a few weeks of dodgy internet in Home HQ, which meant I wasn't always able to get on with the jobs I wanted to do. Thankfully, there are always plenty of offline jobs to keep me productive - my filing cabinet has never been so organised, and the shredding is finally up to date! 😂

With a bit of a summer lull too, as several clients reduced their workload over the school holidays, I had some time to spend working on LMVA rather than just in it. There have been plenty of things going on behind the scenes, some of which you'll see in this first quarterly review.

So, here is my first one - looking back at July, August and September, with a few highlights from the last three months and a little glimpse of what's been going on behind the scenes.

What do you think of the new format?

Over the past few months, I’ve been working on procedures and updating documentation within my business, and I have been using AI tools to assist me with this.

After many conversations and prompts for helping me with the updates, AI came back with this comment to me. I thought it was a nice compliment and a good description of me when I hadn’t even asked for one!

So, if this describes a person you like the sound of, that could help you, book in an enquiry call to find out more: www.lm-virtualassistance.co.uk

Today, Linda Morley Virtual Assistant has been in business for 4 years!

When I launched, I gave myself a year to see what happened.

Four years later, there is definitely no turning back now!

There have been bumps along the way, but I've absolutely loved the journey. I've learnt so much and continue to learn with every new project, challenge and client.

I've been lucky enough to work with some great clients, and I’m enjoying seeing how much LMVA has changed along the way.

I absolutely love being my own boss and having the flexibility to work from different locations and choosing my own working hours. That was one of the main reasons I started my own business.

I feel this last year has been the year I've evolved the most. I've spent more time reviewing what I've learnt, capturing procedures, creating templates and putting better systems in place - not just for my clients, but for LMVA too.

And perhaps one of the biggest things I've learnt is that good admin isn't just about getting paperwork done. It's about making life easier, creating time and giving business owners the headspace to concentrate on what they do best.

So, to everyone who has supported LMVA along the way - thank you! 💙

Here's to the next chapter and whatever the next four years bring!

The new hockey season is finally here, and I played my first game of the season this weekend!

Everyone has a role to play. Defenders, midfielders, forwards and goalkeeper - we all bring different skills to the team. You can't have everyone trying to do the same job, and you certainly can't have one person doing everything!

The same applies to running a business.

As a Virtual Assistant, I'm there to become part of your team - bringing my skills and experience to the things you need support with, while you concentrate on the parts of your business that need your time and attention.

I don't need to know how to do everything you do, and you don't need to know how to do everything I do. That's the beauty of having the right people around you.

Different skills. Different roles. One team.

And just like on the hockey pitch, it's amazing what you can achieve when everyone works together!

As a Defender on the pitch, I don’t score the goals, but I do save them! if you want some help achieving your business goals, drop me a message – I’d love to see how I can help.

Delegating doesn't have to mean handing over control or committing to a full-time assistant.

Sometimes it's simply about getting support with the tasks that take time away from running your business.

If one of these has been lingering on your list for weeks, perhaps it's time to stop carrying it alone.

Outsourcing to a Virtual Assistant is not as expensive as you would think. My retainer package starts from as little as 5 hours per month commitment.

Which task would you happily hand over first?
