Warning : sentimental post x When your self-employed your mind is never off your business and how you can be successful. Being successful is an individual goal and today this has me thinking of questions I have not been able to answer. One being what is your niche. It has been a few years now since I have been in the corporate world and the last few years where challenging to say the least and muddied why I choose my profession. Yesterday it became clearer when I worked wit...h one of my clients who is one of the loveliest people in my life right now. I get a kick out of helping true and genuine people, that is my niche! It energises me to know I am making someone’s life easier and helping them focus on what matters. It opens your eyes to what is important in life and appreciate those things that give you joy and happiness. I am grateful for having a wonderful family, supportive friends, and my sanctuary with my 4-legged pals. This morning my heart was bursting with positivity in a place where there are challenges, but I do not regret any of it or want to change the things that I have been through. It is what shapes us and makes us great. Have a fabulous day everyone life is what you make it never regret it is a life’s lesson want to share with you my morning doing what I love the most See more

Can I afford a Virtual Assistant? Hell yes!!! We are not exclusive. I have the loveliest clients from all walks of life/profession who want a healthy work / home balance. I can unclutter your day from the administrative To Do List, so you are free to concentrate on the activities that generate revenue for your business. The best way to measure if you need an assistant would be equating your hourly value to a Virtual Assistants hourly rate and do not forget a Virtual Assist...ant will complete that task in half the time. We are surprisingly affordable and flexible. You may only need 1 hour a day or 50 hours a month? There is a package to suit your requirements. I am here to help I love making people happy. Ditch the overwhelming feeling, you cannot do everything in a day. It is time to concentrate on what makes you great!!
