I haven't had that Monday morning dread since I st I haven't had that Monday morning dread since I started working for myself in September 2018. That might seem easy for me to say, but I had the Monday dread for ten years when I worked in education and I actively feel a buzz of excitement every time I sit at my desk now! Here's your Monday morning reminder that you don't have to stick at something that you don't love - there is always another way. Promise.❤️ #mondaymorning #monday #mondaymotivation #lovewhatyoudo #mybiz #wfh #selfemployment #employmentfreedom #obm #va #adminchat #nataliasanders #cleardeskva
When I started my business I wanted to build long- When I started my business I wanted to build long-lasting relationships with my clients. I am a strong believer in women and the power of female friendships - I have 3 sisters, 0 brothers - and have always loved working with women. As my biz has developed, I've leaned into that, because it's really helped me to foster and build great relationships. This week I am reflecting on how, through constant and unexpected small kindnesses, I have created, sustained, grown and fallen in love with my business over 3 short years, whilst raising my own small females. This quote really resonates with me. It is through these kindnesses that our relationships - working or otherwise - build, strengthen and lift us up. I admire Michelle Obama endlessly, if you haven't read her book, I urge you to. It's everything and more. To all my female clients, friends and sisters, happy Friday - big love to you all, Natalia xx #fridayfeels #friyay #quote #fridayquote #michelleobama #favouritequote #women #womensupportingwomen #bestclients #friends #friendship #sisters #sisterhood
I am off to spend the day with a very special clie I am off to spend the day with a very special client as they have their team, website and branding photography done by the incredible @brandcology today and I'm off to support with admin and assistance - love it! Working remotely from my garden office really works for me. It is the dream, but actually going for face-to-face days really lights me up and I'm dead excited today.

When it comes to social media schedulers, I've use When it comes to social media schedulers, I've used them all. 😂 If there was a certificate / badge / award for knowing them inside out, it would be mine, pals! 🤣 Paid for / free / funny features / quirks and oddities, I feel like I'm wracked them all up over the past 3 plus years. 😝 Now this is NOT an advertisement for Facebook or a plug or any of that malarkey, just an OBM sharing a feature that saves TIME, helps create brand CONSISTENCY and AUTOMATION - three of my faves when running a busy online business. 🤓 😎And it's this: I use the Facebook Business Suite for my social media management and today I've noticed on my client's suite that they now offer SAVED hashtags. Hallelujah! No more spreadsheets / Trello cards / Asana comment copy and pastes for different content pillars - just save them straight there! AND they provide stats on them. 🤓 Geek street, eh?! When you run 9 business social media strategies, trust me when I say this is music to my ears 😂 Just a wee time saver that is strategic, useful and speedy. Love it. What's your top tip for scheduling? ⭐ #hashtagchat #OBM #creativeOBM #smm #socialmediamanagement #socialtips #tips #va #virtualassistant #cleardeskva #nataliasanders #womeninbusiness #timesaver #bizchats #scheduler #schedulingtool #womenintech #digitalwomen #digitalmums
I am beyond grateful for this. The summer was pur I am beyond grateful for this. The summer was purposefully quiet for me, allowing me to focus on my 1-1 clients and have the flexibility of looking after my daughters. After a few brilliant weeks getting everything up and running, I am chuffed to say I am now fully booked for all 1-1 work and my Waiting List is live on my website. I have some FABULOUS client work and am doing my happy dance right now! Best way to start the month. Happy Friday, folks! #friyay #celebrate #mybiz #fullybooked #friday #lovemyjob #selfemployed #bestjobintheworld #bestclients #grateful #flexibleworking #obm
End of the month reminders as we head into the fin End of the month reminders as we head into the final Quarter of 2021 from me to you: 🌺 look ahead in your calendar and ensure that any half-term and / or festive period is blocked off in your booking / scheduling tool 🌺 make a list of important dates ahead: are there any actions needed? Deadlines on the horizon? Can you work backwards from these to create a checklist of actions? Do you need to outsource? 🌺 plan in your festive shopping time now: whether it be on your phone in the evening, a festive market or a weekend away - if it isn't plotted in your calendar it can feel overwhelming to squeeze in. 🌺 check your financial situation: are you on track with your end year goal? Does anything need tweaking? Are your receipts prepped and uploaded for the end of September? 🌺 have you created your content plan for the next 1, 2 or 3 months? Festive content around Hallowe'e, Bonfire Night and Christmas is always hugely contested and planned - ensure you bring YOU and YOUR BRAND to your content and create what feels aligned with your business; not what you feel you 'ought' to be creating. 🌺 time-block your calendar to boost your productivity in the winter months. As the nights draw in, conserve your energy. 🌺 take your vitamins! Big love, Natalia xx #monthend #vatips #admintips #obm #va #adminchat #september #Q4 #businessowner #reminders
