The power of social media! 📱⁠
⁠
Towards the end of last year I connected with some really lovely people who had come to the realisation that their businesses needed additional support in order to step up. I am so happy that they connected with me and I’m excited to start supporting them and their goals in 2022! ⁠
⁠
Each one of them found out about Fast Lane VA via a colleague past or present, a member of their family, a friend or even a friend-of-a-friend who had heard about me and my online VA business via these little squares. ⁠
⁠
So by simply liking, commenting, saving and sharing my posts, you're putting me and my business in front of people that might not have ordinarily come across my page so you're helping to spread awareness. ⁠
⁠
It feels like a big cheer from behind the scenes and I am so grateful - thank you!⁠ 💕

Do any of these signs sound like you on a daily basis?! Yes! 🙌🏻

Then it's definitely time to explore the benefits of working with a Virtual Assistant.

There are endless ways that I can support small businesses and with flexible packages there is a solution for everyone.

Don't get buried under your to do list - reach out, it might just be the best decision you ever make for your business.

From insurance policies to licence renewals, subscriptions to professional memberships - there is always a deadline on the horizon isn't there?

Do you regularly panic when you realise you’ve nearly missed a date for something? It's easy for things to get missed if you don't have a system in place to remind you of key deadlines throughout the year.

I can help track all your renewal dates in a shared calendar or drive, obtain or request quotes for you to review and set up a shared drive for the safe storage of all your important policy documents.

Never miss a deadline again! How nice would that feel?

Hands up if you're Team Trello?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

It's the first of a new month and time to set-up my recurring monthly tasks using a time saving Trello tip! 💫

I use this method when adding regular tasks to my lists that involve a few key stages that I don't want to forget and need to do in a certain order.

For example, every month I prepare a client's payroll for submission and this task consists of 6 sub-tasks that I complete over a 2-week period leading up to pay day. I have a template card containing a checklist with these 6 sub-tasks listed in order. Rather than having to create a new card every month, I simply copy the pre-designed template and all I need to do is add my due dates. ✅

I have been writing a blog post for ages about how I use Trello in my business and every time I think I've covered all the best bits, I think of something else! This tip came to mind today so I wanted to share (as it looks like my blog post will sit as a draft for a bit longer yet!).

Time...there is never enough ⏲️

Protect it. Use it wisely. Outsource. Automate your processes. Learn to say NO!

You're familiar with what the benefits are of working with a VA - how much time they can save your business, how your own productivity will rocket and how much more cost efficient it is than having a permanent employee with all those associated costs.

But what about the relief you feel when certain tasks are expertly taken off your to do list and handled professionally, never to be procrastinated about again?!

That feeling is priceless!

Here are my most popular Virtual Assistant services to give some inspiration on how I could help you.

I like to think I’ve got a good memory but with the best will in the world I can’t remember the 150+ passwords that I currently have stored securely in my Password Manager software. I use Dashlane and couldn’t be without it.
⁠
🔐 Passwords, payment card details, bank account info, confidential client data - all safely stored away and backed up.
⁠
The handy app scores your password health and tells you if passwords have been compromised, reused too many times or are too weak. Sharing passwords securely between clients and colleagues is very easy and safe too.
⁠
🔑 What do you use to store your passwords and protect your personal and business data?⁠

🔒 Do you have your passwords stored all over the place (including in your head!) and need help to get them all located in one place? Then I can help! 🙋🏼‍♀️

World Environment Day 2021 ♻️⁠
⁠
Here are a couple of simple ideas that can be easily applied to make your small business a little bit greener:
⁠
☁️ Go Digital - a VA can set-up a cloud based storage system so that you can share, edit and store your documents digitally and cut down on the amount of paperwork you print.⁠

📨 Paperless Billing - a VA can audit your incoming post and opt-in for paperless billing to cut down on the amount of printed post you receive through the mail. ⁠

💻 Dispose or Donate- a VA can research where to donate or dispose of your unwanted or broken electrical office items such as laptops, chargers, phones, hard drives and coordinate a pick-up.⁠

🌳 Email Footer - a VA can add a sentence to your email signature that encourages your recipients to consider the environment before printing any emails or attachments.⁠
⁠
Lastly, it's not just paper and card based items that you should be recycling in your office, don't forget you can also recycle printer cartridges 🖨️ batteries 🔋 and lightbulbs 💡⁠
⁠
If we all do a small bit it will make a big difference. ⁠
⁠
Clear the clutter, ditch the printer and recycle that paperwork - get in touch if you need help taking those small steps forward.

Today is 🤗 and this recent testimonial from one of my newest clients was lovely to receive.

"Ellie was recommended to me as I was in search of a VA to assist me with some one-off admin tasks to setup some systems and tracking sheets for my upcoming busy Summer season. I found her to be personable, a great communicator, switched on and efficient. She completed the task quickly and to a high standard. I will definitely use Ellie again and encourage you to as well." 🙏🏻

Friday 21st May: International Virtual Assistant Day (there's a day for everything!). I thought I'd talk a little about what types of business benefit from using a VA.

Firstly, no business is too small or too large. I work with businesses of all sizes, in all sorts of industries and all with different requirements.

However what they have in common, is that by using the services of a VA like me, they're allowing themselves the time and headspace to work on building their business instead of their precious time being zapped behind the scenes.

By employing a VA, either on a one-off project basis or for more regular retained support, you're investing in your success. The beauty for any business, however big or small, is that you only pay for the support you need.

If your business could benefit from an extra pair of hands and you want to find out what it is like to work with a VA, then take a look at my website and if you have any questions I’d love to hear from you! www.fastlaneva.com 💓

Start as you mean to go on this week with this Monday morning checklist (or even a Sunday evening checklist if you’re feeling keen!).⁠
⁠
🟥 Review your to do lists - if you ended last week transferring unfinished or new tasks across, then you should have a good reminder and clear idea of what needs to be achieved this week.⁠
⁠
🟧 Check calendar for the week ahead - remind yourself what is happening, check you have allocated travel or prep time before any meetings.⁠
⁠
🟦 Scan inboxes - again, take just 10 mins to see what may have come in over the weekend that needs actioning, update your to do lists or if it’s an email that will take less than a minute to reply to and remove then do it!⁠
⁠
🟩 Plan your day - decide on your top 3 priorities (eat that frog!), time block your morning so that you have a productive start to the day and plan a short break to aim for.⁠
