Stop trying to do it all 😅

I see so many VA’s and busines owners totally overwhelmed by all they ‘have’ to do grow and run their business.

The truth is, to have a truly sustainable, scalable business that isn’t reliant on you working 24/7, you have to OUTSOURCE.

There are so many thing you can outsource like social media, client work, bookkeeping or even personal things like cooking and cleaning!

Here are some of the things I outsource, so I can focus on what I am good at and enjoy doing:

✨Client work
✨Bookkeeping and accounting
✨Research and general admin within my business
✨Laundry
✨Cleaning
✨Most cooking/meals
✨Dog walking

We need to start normalising asking people for help and stop trying to do it all!

What one thing could you outsource in the new year? Comment below 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Who’s got your back? 👀

1. Cashflow.

Keep on top of your cashflow. Get paid in advance on retainers (or however you package up your services).

2. Get paid via DD, so you don’t have to chase or follow up for payment.

Getting paid via DD was a huge game changer for me. No awkward chasing for payment and the peace of mind that you will be regularly paid on time.

I use GoCardless to collect payment.

3. Have your rates on your website to pre-qualify clients.

Avoid time-waisters or a mismatch, by putting your rates on your website.

4. Keep your packages and terms consistent and simple

So many people want to cater for all, or offer different packages for different people. This can cause confusion for the prospect and result in no enquries.

Keep it simple.

5. Learn to delegate early.

This will help avoid overwhelm and get you into the habit of delegating, which will help you scale your business.

In reality, you probably find yourself knee deep in managing your own expenses, booking your own travel and juggling your diary, wondering why you’re doing this when you should be concentrating on running your business, generating new business and leading.

There are so many things a Virtual Assistant can either help with or fully manage on your behalf.

Here are our top things clients ask us to help with:

✨Diary management
✨Email management
✨Personal/lifestyle support
✨Project co-ordination and management
✨Travel research and booking
✨Research
✨Document editing
✨Process improvement
✨Expense management
✨Event management

Drop us a DM to learn how you can delegate today 🙌🏻

The biggest barrier getting in the way of your goals is YOU.

I see so many VAs say what they want to do, but they talk themselves out of it...

“I don’t have enough experience”, “I’m not as confident as others”, “Why would anyone want to work with me”, “I need more time”.

I’m here to tell you, that YOU WILL NEVER FEEL 100% READY

Everyone I know who has hit their goals, have got started DESPITE all those worries...they have learnt what they don’t know, learnt from their mistakes and CRACKED ON 🔥

Stop the negative self talk and take baby steps to reach your goal.

Imagine if you started today, where you could be in 1 year ✨✨✨

So many people ask how I attract clients.

My main approach is to:

✨Connect with my ideal client (on the daily)
✨Create content tailored to them
✨Engage
✨Repeat

This is why knowing who your ideal client is, is so important.

The more you know about your ideal client, the quicker and easier it is to find and attract them! 🔥

How else do you find clients?

Running a business (or just general life!) can be really bloody tiring and stressful.

Sometimes we just need to reboot, so we feel human again.

We need to normalise power naps in the working day!

It’s NOT a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of self care 💆🏻‍♀️

Who’s with me? 🤷🏻‍♀️
