𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀 🐾

Here’s a little peek into my day. Whether I’m performing admin tasks, creating social media content, or meeting virtually with clients, every day is different—and I love it! And of course, I always have my trusty assistants by my side to keep me company. 🐶🐶

From managing admin tasks to client communications, I help real estate agents streamline their workflow, create stand out marketing material, and stay organised—so they can focus on what they do best: listing & selling!

Working from home offers flexibility, but it’s also about staying proactive, motivated, and efficient. And having a furry co-worker or two definitely keeps things fun!

When you hire an employee, you're covering more than just a salary.

There’s benefits, office space, equipment, KiwiSaver, sick leave, coffee breaks, office chitter chatter, bathroom breaks, and personal phone use.

Although the exact stats vary by industry and salary, in general, the cost of lost productivity due to personal phone use can add up to thousands of dollars annually per employee.

• One study by CareerBuilder found the average employee spends around 𝟱𝟲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘆 on their mobile device for 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸-𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀.

• A survey by OfficeTeam showed that employees spend an average of 𝟮.𝟱 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸!

By hiring a VA, you get premium support without the overhead expenses. You only pay for the hours you need—𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱.

So, when hubby calls me to check what’s for dinner on his way home, you can rest easy knowing it's not coming out of your pocket!

For small business owners, this isn't just cost-effective; it's a smart business move. 💡

WFH sometimes means you have to go with the flow...

It was such a stunning day here yesterday—dare I say it—"You can't beat Wellington on a good day!" I had a busy day lined up in front of the screen, but then life had other plans. There was a power outage all day. 🤦‍♀️

I decided to make the most of it and take the dogs and the teens to one of my all-time favourite places - the Wellington Botanical Gardens.

All I can say is, "Thank you, universe!" No one died, the work still got done, and the kids and I had such a beautiful time together. It was nice to see that at 13 and 15, we still had to spend at least half an hour with the ducks and ducklings, and my kids are still in there under all that hair and attitude.

It's easy to forget your 'why' when you run your own business, it can consume you and take you away from what matters most. All I can say is, take the time when you can, and if you need help, ask for it. Outsourcing is worth every dollar if you get to spend time doing what you love with those you love.

What's your why, and are you getting enough of it?

25/09/2024

It's feedback like this that motivates me to continuously deliver top-notch support for my clients! Whether it’s managing communications, marketing, or administrative tasks, I take pride in using initiative and forward-thinking to help real estate agents deliver quality service and increase their listings.

If you're looking for a virtual assistant who brings dedication and results to the table, let’s connect!
