Have you started planning your business goals for the new year?
Now's the time to get your thinking cap on and start working out what you want to achieve in the new year.
Welcome to the 2nd post in my “Mums In Business” Guest blog series. Today I have the lovely Rachel from Secretarial Online who is here to share some helpful tips on time management which she has learned through years of running a busy household and her VA business.
I don’t know about you, but I find myself spending a lot of the time on social media in the evenings answering messages or responding to a comment on a Facebook post on my phone, rather than watching a TV show I had pre-recorded or spending time with my husband.
I have been collaborating with the lovely Vicky from Windview Australia on a new blog series specifically for Mums who are busy juggling a family & business.
In this post you'll find tips and lessons Vicky has learned through years of running a successful business.
If you are a small business owner, you may not have a Secretary or Assistant in your office to support you with admin or marketing.
Tasks like designing flyers, composing letters, formatting reports, updating websites, creating PowerPoint presentations or scheduling social media can add hours to your already busy schedule, and might mean you work late or go into the office on the weekend.
I love Spring, it's my favourite season. It's a good time for a little spring-cleaning not only in your home but in your business too!
Here are some spring-cleaning tips to get you started!
Are you constantly searching the web for free stock photos that you can use in your social media, blog posts, articles or PowerPoint presentations? Well look no further, here I have listed 5 of my favourite go-to websites.
If you are looking at building your own website, you’ll notice several website platforms in the marketplace.
Many of the platforms have easy to use web builders that don’t require the user to have web design skills . The builders have easy drag & drop functionality for the individual or business who wants to DIY and avoid hiring a web developer.
For a small business owner it can be quite daunting choosing a platform, and figuring out whether it has everything you need for your website.
If I was to compare an apple to an orange, I can see that both are fruit, both are sometimes sweet, tasty, and grow on trees however they are from different fruit families!
Much like that of a virtual assistant and a temp worker (temp) that is hired through a job recruitment agency.
Have you heard of Google My Business? Maybe you've seen a business appear on Google with their telephone number, a map showing where they are located, opening hours, reviews, phone number and wondered how you do that? It’s all done in an app called Google My Business.
Today I thought I’d share my leap in registering my VA business and becoming a small business owner.
Here’s what I have learnt thus far.
As a small business owner it’s easy to feel like the year has whizzed by and that I haven't ticked everything off my to-do list.
An infographic is a graphic that displays important information in an interesting and visual way. They are a good way of highlighting important pieces of information and makes information such as data easier to read and more appealing to your audience.
If you have been considering the services of a Virtual Assistant here are some interesting facts you may not have known.
On my business site, I created a blog to share my knowledge and expertise, as well as talk about how my services can help clients and provide useful tips. If you are wondering whether a blog is going to be suitable for your business read this post to see why I think your business should have one.
Do you make the most out of your time during a work day? If you work from home you will know how hard it is to walk past a pile of dishes or laundry that needs washing, or bunch of toys scattered over the floor. It can be challenging when you still have little ones needing your attention while you are trying to get work done.
Sometimes it can take months to write, develop and launch a website. Some Business owners make the mistake of publishing a single landing page with “Website coming soon!” plastered across it, because they are eager for their company to have a web presence, but don't provide any useful information.

Christmas is fast upon us and can be a stressful time of year for some people. You may have relatives visiting on Christmas day, a bunch of gifts to pick out, a house to clean and food to buy.

So here's my tips on how you can have a stress-free Christmas at home, work and with kids.
