Flexbility in business- how outsorcing can help you find balance in business

Running a business

Running a business can be exciting, fulfilling, and full of opportunity but it can also feel overwhelming at times and can feel like riding a rollercoaster. When you’re trying to manage everything yourself from admin tasks to marketing, bookkeeping, and customer service, it’s easy to lose sight of the reason we started our business, which for many could be flexibility.

For me, flexibility isn’t just a preference, it’s a necessity. As a mum to an autistic son, I need the freedom to attend appointments, therapies, and meetings, and to take him to his school, which isn’t local. Having that space in my schedule allows me to be present for my family and my clients.

That’s one of the main reasons I became a Virtual Assistant. I wanted to build a business that works around my life and I help other business owners do exactly the same.

Spring is finally here! Soon enough we will notice that the days are getting longer and that the flowers are blooming. We have been spoilt this week and the sun has come out for a few days.

I absolutely love supporting small business owners like you helping you clear your to-do list so you can focus on what you do best!

Let’s talk about social media

I have nearly been in business for 4 years and approximately 85% of my clients have come through social media but so many businesses are still not using it.

I am primarily active on LinkedIn but do try and post on Facebook and Instagram too, as I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket!
