Being a Virtual Assistant can sometimes be a bit o

Being a Virtual Assistant can sometimes be a bit of a lonely gig.

When you serve your clients, you’re always thinking of their needs before your own and I know it is so easy to leave your own business development to the end of your To Do list.

When I started my business in 2018, I felt like I didn’t know anyone else who did what I did.

I thought that other VAs would see me as competition and wouldn’t want to be pals with me.

Fast forward 18 months and I realised how wrong I was.

Other VAs are the people I talk to without having to deliver an epic introduction - they just GET IT.

They know the woes, the highs, the lows and the joys of being in the DFY space.

This led me to create my CDVA Membership. A safe space to chat, connect and support other VAs. Not a huge scary group where it feels scary to ask a question but, instead, a safe space to support and uphold each other’s businesses.

When a member called what we’d created a “VAmily” I could feel my heart soar 💖

If you’re looking for an inclusive group for VAs, click the link in my bio.

And yes - this is a sneaky start to my new branding you can see here 🤩

Today I’m away from home without my family for t

Today I’m away from home without my family for the first time since 2019 and, my lord, how fabulous only having one handbag is 😆

I have been consciously slimming my availability and my business for a light summer of work.

I talk a lot on my Clear Desk Podcast (available now wherever you pod 🎧) about outsourcing and flexible working, and I am truly walking my own walk in business as I move into the second half of this year. I’ve tightened my boundaries, narrowed my focus and pulled up my drawbridge to allow my creativity and focus to be channeled into my client work and my girls this summer.

That doesn’t mean it’s easy.

I know there’ll be days when I feel I “ought” to be online.

That I’ll worry my biz might evaporate (!) if I’m not marketing myself on the internet.

It’s a muscle I will need to work hard to keep in check.

But I’m not here for a season, I’m here for the long haul and that’s why I started my business and why, hopefully, I’ll be still around tooting the VA horn in another decade 🎺

I hope you all enjoy the weekend of sport ahead and take 5 mins to check in with your why this weekend. Big love to @nickyraby for always having my back with these things. Really couldn’t recommend her more.

Now I’m off to game-set-match the weekend!

🌻There are VAs in the Clear Desk VA Membership who just 'get it' - come and join us! 🌻

If you're a VA, I bet that when you started your business you didn't know half the things that you do now.

Remember those early days of wondering what to call your biz?

Remember the nerves of that first ever discovery call?

Remember wondering if you'd ever have a business friend that you could confide in again?

Those early days are daunting and, whether you're at the very start of your VA biz journey or if you're ten years into it, the Clear Desk VA Membership is a paid group of excellent service providers who are looking to explore, honestly, the trails, tribulations, successes, highs, lows, wins and worries of running a virtual VA biz and still having time to do the things in life that light them up.

If you'd like to join, send me a DM today - doors open soon for a v limited time period!

As we approach the summer holidays and the end of

As we approach the summer holidays and the end of term, it can be really helpful to check in with your next three months worth of content planning and consider what is in and what is out.

Are there things you can leave until September?

Have you updated your booking availability over the summer?

Do you need to edit your financial planning to consider holidays?

Just a few things that you could be considering at the moment in your own VA business but, also, things to ask your clients about as they broach the summer time with you.

When I decided to launch the Clear Desk VA Members

When I decided to launch the Clear Desk VA Membership last year, I wanted to create a tight-knit community of Virtual Assistants and Online Business Managers who were looking to connect, support and progress in their DFY businesses.

What I hadn't imagined would come from the creation of this online community, were the friendships, sense of camaraderie and genuine joy in other peoples' success that feels like the ribbon that ties the group together.

It is the part of my business that I am most proud of and working on it never feels like work, if that makes sense.

In July, I am going to open the doors to this special community to allow other VAs to come and join. Keep your eyes peeled on my social media, website and The VA Weekly (Thursday evening newsletter) for the details because I purposely try and keep the Membership small so this isn't a huge "woohoo you have three weeks to come and play" kinda vibe. It's strength is in its closeness, if that makes sense.

If you've been feeling like you'd love some virtual colleagues who have your back, encourage you and provide job opportunities, we'd love you to join.
