Happy birthday 🎉

A year ago today I launched my business.

It's been a difficult first year, there's no point hiding the truth!

😐 I've struggled mentally with the ups and downs of self-employed life
😐 I've found it hard to find a balance between being my own boss, being a mum and wife and still being me
😐 It's been bloody lonely (even though my two year old is great company when he wants to be 😂)

Although my mind always sees the negatives and the failures, I've forced myself to step back, put a smile on my face and look at what has been good about this year:

✨ I escaped an awful job where I didn't get paid on time
✨ I passed the VA Mastery Course (run by VACT) to give me great foundations for my business
✨ I now work with two wonderful clients on my terms

Could I have done better? Perhaps. Easy to say in hindsight.

Have I still made progress towards my end goal? Of course.

Will I still keep plugging away at it? Absolutely 💪🏻

What tips have you got to help me cope with the mental side of the freelance journey?

I'll be over here giving myself a talking to for feeling the need to use the word journey 😂

Happy Sunday!

Today has been a day for getting stuff done.

⭐ Early morning walk (even managed to catch sight of a heron!)
⭐ Sunflowers and tomatoes repotted
⭐ Lunches prepped for the week
⭐ Some more puzzle done

and caught some of the Wimbledon final!

It's not all been a bed of roses though, we're in the throes of the terrible twos here so there's been A LOT of strops and surfboard carries 😂

What have you done today?

I'm going on an adventure!

Today is the start of a new adventure for me and my son. He no longer goes to nursery and will instead be spending his days at home with me.

It's not a decision we've taken lightly because he absolutely loves nursery but it was a necessary one.

With the crazy cost of childcare in this country, along with the cost of living increases and a slow but steady start to my business, something had to give.

I had been stewing on this decision for a few weeks feeling like I've failed but, with the help of the awesome Amanda Johnson at Virtual Assistant Training Academy from VACT Limited, I've changed my outlook on it.

I'm seeing this more as a means to an end. We're adapting to new circumstances and doing what we need to in this moment. And hopefully, it's not a long term situation as I feel like toddlers can gain so much from nursery and regular interaction with similar aged children.

This got me thinking about the below from and how any progress is still progress, even though it's not the straight line I imagined. It's important to remember that!

So here's to lots of school run walks, endless park visits and making extra special memories together. And to nap time working 😂

"You cannot do everything at once, so find people you trust to help you. And don't be afraid to say no."

Great quote from Jane Seymour, easier said than done sometimes but you are only one person!

Are you good at saying no? Let me know below.

Hiring a VA.

You immediately think of not having to do the annoying admin tasks that you hate and not having to sort out the paperwork for actually employing someone right?

But they aren't the REAL benefits of hiring a VA.

Even if you just picked one from each category here, you can start to see where the value in having a VA really lies.

Why wouldn't you hire a VA when this is how your life could change?

Work/life balance.

You: I thought owning your own business meant you had a more flexible lifestyle and a better work/life balance? *Spends barely anytime with family and friends and works till all hours*

Also you, when you choose to outsource your admin: Now this is the magic formula to improving my work/life balance!

Share if you can relate to this.
