⭐ Learning to Fly ⭐ I’ve recently committed ⭐ Learning to Fly ⭐ I’ve recently committed to working with my coach for a full year, and this is something I’m really excited about & love talking about the benefits I’m feeling. The last 6 months have been a huge period of growth for me. I hit my first ever £5k month in the first month of working with my coach, which felt like one of those things that you see people on the internet talk about but I always had the impostor feels like that kinda thing could never happen to me. And then it did, and it took me about 3 weeks to acknowledge it. It happened when I was settling my daughter into school, working a maximum of 16 hours a week & launching things left right and centre! It was a month that will stay with me for a long time. And, in all honesty, I didn’t necessarily DO anything majorly different. I'm not trying to be annoying here, I mean I did launch a Podcast but, if anything, that cost me four figures & didn’t make me one! But what I DID do was to focus on my offerings. I got crystal clear on what I was charging, what I was charging for and, as my coach always says, I repeatedly asked myself “what am I leaving on the table?” Which means “what am I giving away for free?” As a reforming people-pleaser, I'm often guilty of giving things away for free. I know as a VA this is a common theme. We work an extra hour for free; we fix the problem; we don’t raise our prices with clients because we‘re afraid they might ditch us & leave us for someone else (spoiler: if you’re providing brilliant service they'll never want to leave you!) A bit of reflection for me this morning but I am really trying to open up the doors to show the highs and lows and truth behind my business growth on here at the mo as I feel it’s the sort of content that isn’t shared enough. So, to @nickyraby - here’s to another 6 months & I am thankful every day for your support. #mindset #honesty #honestpost #cleardesk #cleardeskva #cleardeskcontent #nataliasanders #lockdown #reflections #meditate #yoga #yogalife #mybiz #supportsmallbusiness #creative #copywriter #va #virtualassistant #mentor #vamentoring #obm #smm #content #creator #planning #bizplanning #womeninbusiness #femalefounder
This month I am celebrating one of the founding me This month I am celebrating one of the founding members of the Clear Desk VA Membership signing her first client and it feels BLOOMING INCREDIBLE to be a tiny part of the support system that is helping Virtual Assistants progress in their business. If you are at the point of seeking your first client or your thirty first, we are here for you. The Membership group is a really supportive, inclusive group of like-minded VAs who want to step into their CEO shoes. They want to improve, learn, be at the top of their game and serve their brilliant clients to a really high standard. I know that together we improve. I am seeing it happen. I’m witnessing the excellent things that happen when we support each other and I’d love you to come and join. You can join for 3 months, 6 months or 12 months and the maximum price is £27 per month. I purposefully chose this amount to reflect the hourly national rate for VAs in 2020. If you join this week, you’ll be just in time for the fabulous live from @maxinekerley next week - which I just KNOW is going to be one not to miss.

For Season 2 of the Clear Desk Podcast I am bringi For Season 2 of the Clear Desk Podcast I am bringing you snippets of behind the scenes here at CDVA HQ. One thing I am often asked by the awesome VAs in the Clear Desk VA Membership group is how I run things and the back-end of my biz. A question that’s come up a lot lately is automation and so I wanted to share my Top 5 Things to Automate in your VA business with you this morning. ⭐ Your newsletter sign-up. Sounds simple, but a thoughtful welcome sequence can really set the tone for prospective clients. ⭐ My social content. I have invested in a graphics and content whiz to revolutionise the way that I create and schedule my content plan. Seriously, it’s totally changed how I write. I have a team of two brilliant women who work with me on this and we have a workflow that runs itself. ⭐ Dubsado. I use Forms in Dubsado for different areas of my business and each is set up with a mini workflow and automated responses that are sent straightaway. ⭐ My receipts. My OBM created a really user-friendly book-keeping system for me and I do the first step and then she makes the magic happen! Seriously, it’s made SUCH a difference. ⭐ My 1-1 invoices. I use Xero and the automated invoice option so that everything happens without me interfering! Hit me up: what’s your best automation tip? Let’s support each other below. #va #virtualassistant #admin #adminchat #administrativeassistant #OBM #SMM #freelance #vamentor #mentor #tip #tips #tiptime #biztip #contenttip #digitaltools #digitalbusiness #biztip #onlinebusiness #online #digital #womeninbusiness #digitalwomen #femalefounder #wfhm

If you know me at all, you’ll know I am BIG on c If you know me at all, you’ll know I am BIG on celebrating birthdays and, also, am always banging on about championing oneself so, without further ado: 🎂 Happy Birthday to me! 🎂 And, also: Happy 5th Birthday to my eldest daughter! 🎂 No doubt, by the time you read this, I’ll be covered in balloons, wrapping paper and sparkles, aiming to make today the best possible lockdown party it can be for a sparkly light of a gal who loves nothing more than singing, dancing and twirling around with her pals. My birthday wish this year is that she can sing, dance and twirl with her pals - and I mine - very, very soon.

Throwing it back to Season One of my podcast this Throwing it back to Season One of my podcast this week with a blog post dedicated to the awesome interview I had with the one and only superwoman: @alltheadmin - Stacey Slack.

Head on over to my new shiny blog today to check out what Stacey had to say about running her own VA business amongst juggling life and a toddler - and make sure you hit her up on here, too! #cleardeskpodcast #outsourcingpodcast #vapodcast #obmpodcast #femaleentrepreneurs #beingboss #ukpodcast #outsource #Adminchat #VA #VirtualAssistant #OBM #Freelance #Freelancelife #Wfhm #Cleardeskva #Cleardeskclearmind #NataliaSanders #Bizlife #Business #Businessadmin #Bizadmin #Mamatribeuk #DIFTK #Mumsinbusiness #FemaleFounder #Bizchat
