24.01.2022 ALL. THE. TIME. Especially if I am copywriting!

23.01.2022 PHEW! Exactly a week ago since I got back from Perth and this little guy is my current situation! Id hoped to lay a little low last week after a full-on few days in Perth but that did not play out... Instead, I had 2 discovery calls and pitched another absolute DREAM potential client (fan-girl moment), did some networking plus pressed go on some automation for my client (with fingers & toes crossed!) to streamline her processes. All of this while solo-parenting and now we ...have school holidays! Its a ride!! P.S. send me strength (or wine!) See more

22.01.2022 "Plan your work and work your plan" - Napoleon Hill Ive been feeling seriously overwhelmed recently by all the "things" we have coming up and stuff in my head that I want to do before Xmas...which feels like it will be here tomorrow! I usually plan for my week on a Monday morning (when Im super-organised Ill do it Sunday night), but today Ive planned out the rest of the YEAR! Feeling so much more in control now.

22.01.2022 WHAT. A. WEEK! This week has pushed me harder than any other in my business. Lots of juggling priorities - clients, my business & family. But I made it!! PHEW! And signed a new client too Time for a very well deserved drink, babysitter & night out

20.01.2022 Last week I attended a fantastic face-to-face workshop on SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) - to find out more about getting my website found on Google and make recommendations for my clients. This week I dialled into a webinar on Digital Marketing and SEO. I feel like I have just scratched the surface but have been making small tweaks to my site to get some Google love...but as both facilitators said (like famous hair ad) "it wont happen overnight, but it will happen!"

20.01.2022 On such a high from the last 3 days at the VA Summit, I think I could fly home without a plane! Thank you Ingrid Bayer & all involved.

19.01.2022 I am bursting with excitement in anticipation for this week! I get to surround myself with fellow VAs and hear from some incredible speakers for 3 days at the VA Summit in Perth. And...as it is in Perth, I get to catch up with a very, very, very good friend who I havent seen in WAY too long! AND...(as much as I love my children more than anything in the world), Im sure all Mums know that excitement of a few days away ON. MY. OWN. #mumspartytime #probablynot #vasummit

19.01.2022 The benefits of being virtual... Pick up the business & work from anywhere! Last week we headed out of the city & I met this guy.

19.01.2022 Do you know what a VA is? Have you been thinking you need to hire someone to give you some help in your business? Perhaps a Virtual Assistant is the answer...

17.01.2022 Balancing business and being a mum isnt all bad... I have a great sidekick (who took his job very seriously I might add) who took notes for me while I was driving on a teleconference a couple of nights ago! #sidekick #jugglingact #assistant

17.01.2022 PHEW... what a week! This week has had it all - frustration, joy, stress, anger, happiness, tears, laughter... plenty of "what am I doing?" and a healthy dose of "yes, Ive got this!" Cheers to Friday

16.01.2022 I am WAY more comfortable writing as someone else than as myself... But I had such a great time in Perth & often read posts online from people who dont like networking... so thought Id share my perspective on the VA Summit & why I get out there, despite feeling uncomfortable for the most part!

14.01.2022 Working from a Playcentre today - you do what you gotta do!

14.01.2022 Winter is soooo tough in QLD! #familytime #livingourbestlife #holiday #relax

13.01.2022 Really the list of tasks a VA can take care of you for is endless... I can help with a lot of these and where its not my area of expertise (or I find it just as time consuming as you!), I can point you in the direction of someone who is a PRO! https://www.virtualstafffinder.com/va-outsourcing-tasks/

12.01.2022 #fridayfunny I come from a family of severe chocoholics, so this would be us! But then my son HATES chocolate! Go figure?!

11.01.2022 Running a business is definitely a rollercoaster for me at the moment. Trying to be more like the child in the middle & enjoy the ride... reality is though I am like the little girl in the front! #hangingon #enjoytheride #upsanddowns

10.01.2022 I am so grateful to be part of such a supportive network! I will admit I am always cautious of industries/networks/groups dominated by women (women often = bitchy, right?!) but this is, hands down, the most encouraged and supported I have felt in my career. Even though we are all in competition. How cool is that?!

10.01.2022 Yesterday Trang from Maisky Virtual Support and I had the pleasure of attending a truly fantastic Masterclass with Angela Henderson. The content was so relevant, we met interesting (and funny) women and as an added bonus a little self-care was included with a movie and popcorn! So many business events speak of self-care and timeout from your business to look after YOU but how many actually do it?

10.01.2022 Proud to say I am a member of Find A VA - a free service connecting business owners with Quality and Professional Australian VAs (or Kiwis posing as "Aussie VAs" like me!). This means I have been reference checked, have all the appropriate insurances in place, an online presence, clearly defined service areas and professional documentation/processes.

10.01.2022 As Kiwis and Aussies, most of us can find a personal link to ANZAC Day... Heres mine - a Great Great Uncle who died in WWII. We will remember them.

09.01.2022 One thing I love, is learning - cant get enough! Today I am breaking out of my virtual cave and expanding my knowledge in SEO.

09.01.2022 This is great...

06.01.2022 Really enjoying Day 1 of the inaugural VA Summit! Great speakers, lots of laughs and insight into business & our thinking

06.01.2022 Im back from a quick family visit in NZ with the kids. Whilst Ive been slack on Facebook, Ive kept up with all my client work and managed some downtime too. So glad to be able to travel and take my work with me. This trip I had an extra special "helper" - my boy Dez! (After this photo he put his head on the laptop making typing somewhat challenging!) Dezzy went to live with my Mum when we packed up our life and went travelling 18 months ago. He followed me around and stuck to me like glue...pressure is on now from the kids to bring him home! #flexibleworking #travel

05.01.2022 Katrena Friel was one of the incredible speakers at the VA Summit - inspiring, funny, real and all-round lovely lady. Im taking some time out today, in my gorgeous sunny spot, to relax and get stuck into her book.

05.01.2022 Seeing this post tonight could not have come at a better time, as Ive been feeling a little frazzled lately... As women (& mums) we so often forget to look after ourselves - especially when we add running a business to the mix. #womenshealthweek #metime

05.01.2022 One thing that made me nervous starting out as a VA, is I felt like people were speaking a foreign language when it came to technology - Asana, Slack, Toggl, Trello, Dubsado, Wave, Acuity, LastPass... none of these names are obvious at all as to what they are actually for! Now I use them EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

05.01.2022 HAPPY BIRTHDAY! OCEANIA VA is ONE! Survived the first year

04.01.2022 OUTSOURCING: Its a big step for any small business. This is a great overview of some things to consider. Although I will say, you may not know what parts you want to outsource - you just know you need help I love working that out together with my clients! https://www.angelahenderson.com.au/10-steps-for-successfull

04.01.2022 Love this! As mums we often question our skills & lack confidence in our abilities due to time "off work"... but we forget about the empire weve been running, often with little support!

03.01.2022 Two weeks can feel like such a long time...and then add a public holiday on the end to drag it out more!

03.01.2022 Subcontracting = everyone wins! "Samantha has been working for me in a subcontracting position since February 2019. She is reliable, a quick learner and trusted to get the job done correctly. I know I can give her a task, (with minimal guidance at times!) and she will run with it, work it out and deliver an exceptional end result. Samantha is a pleasure to work with and I love having her as someone I can call on when needed."

03.01.2022 This has made my week! My first Google review

02.01.2022 All the way from Canada... Here it is, the first step in my plan to NOT over-plan this year!
