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

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
