Meeting Theo Paphitis

Are you making the most of the free opportunities that are available to you?

Do you persevere? 

Last year I joined Twitter for one reason and one reason only, to enter Theo Paphitis’s Small Business Sunday (SBS) initiative. Did I win in week one… no, week 2… no. But I persevered and entered every week for months!  Were there weeks that I felt like giving up and not entering … yes!!

Ending the year on a high!

How is it 2022 already?!

Where did 2021 go? I daresay it but where did the last two years go!

The new year gives us a perfect opportunity to review our business and see what worked in the previous year and what didn’t.

What can you outsource in your business?

As business owners, we can put immense pressure on ourselves to do everything on our own.

Have you ever considered outsourcing anything as a business owner?

When you are in an employed position, if you need someone to help you with an IT issue, you may have a tech team on hand. If you need to find something out about finances, you may have a bookkeeper or a finance team.

One year in business!

One year in business!

June/July marked my one year business anniversary! Although the idea of becoming a Virtual Assistant came to me many months before, it took me some time to officially start it. I say June/July, as in June I bought my domain name and paid my hosting fee but I didn’t officially start marketing my business until July 2020.

What a rollercoaster it has been! There have definitely been some highs and lows. Learning and growing is definitely something that I have done this year!

Is your business ready for you to have time off?

With holidays now fast approaching, have you thought about your business and ensuring that you have everything covered if you are due to take some time off?

Planning a holiday when you are self employed isn’t quite as simple as taking that time off. You need to think ahead. There is lots that you can do in advance but you need to factor time in, a few weeks before your break.

Business Organisation

Life can be busy and it can feel like there is never enough time to do everything. My friends think I am extremely organised but I am always trying to find new ways and ideas to make my life even more so. One of the reasons I became a Virtual Assistant was to offer my organisation skills to other businesses.

Are you actively using Social Media?

We all know the importance of social media but yet there are so many businesses not actively using it.

Recently, one of my clients gave me the task of finding information on local businesses and wanted to follow them on social media. I started on Google to establish what businesses were local to my client. However, in a short space of time, it became apparent that there were a lot of businesses not on social media at all or they hadn’t posted in months.

Do you remember your why?

When starting my business, I didn’t think in great depth about how I would market it or whether I had a niche or even a pricing structure.  From the early days, I kept on hearing the words niche and ideal client. I started to have a disliking for those words as I felt like, as a Virtual Assistant, that I could work with any industry and undertake various types of admin tasks. If I wasn’t familiar or confident with a piece of software, I would be honest but say that I was happy to try it out.

Social Media- Linkedin

When I started my business just over 7 months ago, I wasn’t actively using social media; even for personal use. It was all new to me and it felt scary.  I knew that by being a Virtual Assistant one of the best places to promote my business for free would be on social media.

Tips on how to manage to homeschool whilst working from home.

The thought of home-schooling whilst trying to work is a new experience for me. I started my business in June 2020, by then my children were back to school, albeit part-time.  I have thought a lot about how I will manage to support my children, whilst completing client work that I have committed to, on top of continuing to grow my business.
