Save You Time
It’s time to stop fighting with spreadsheets.
When you started your business, you had no idea administrative work was going to take over your life.
Your goal was to be financially independent.
To create a community of people who love what you love. Good vibes only.
To spend your hours handmaking crafts for Etsy or choosing product lines for your next big clothing drop.

When you first started your business, you knew that energy would be scarce for a while. Pouring all your energy into the business was necessary—at the beginning.

Refocus your mind and regain your creativity.
Remember what inspired you to start your business in the first place.
Hiring a Virtual Assistant is Key to Growing Your Online Audience
As a business owner, there are just some things you can’t do.
Investing hundreds of hours of research into social media audience growth is one of them.
Sure, you know how to use hashtags, and you know the basics.
But that knowledge isn’t enough to gain followers who are actively interested in buying your product or service. It doesn’t convert interest into an asset for your business.
It shouldn’t have to.
When you hire a virtual assistant, you’re bringing years of social media research and experience to your team.
Together, we’ll establish your goals and vision for your brand. Then, we’ll start growing.

Onboarding is so much easier with processes and procedures created by your assistant.
Start thinking for the future:
You can increase sales without fear when someone’s handling all your CRM.
You can offer motivators to clients, like discounts or free returns, with an assistant who takes care of it all.
You gain extra time to focus on your business goals, and you can pass administrative tasks to your assistant when you’re ready.
As a business owner, you know the value of forward-thinking. Hiring a virtual assistant is your next step.

Here are the steps I suggest to begin the hiring process and make sure you and your assistant are the right fit:
1. Understand your goals
It’s important that you understand your goals for a virtual assistant before making the official hire. What projects and administrative work do you need help with? What’s your current budget? In 5 years, how would you like your administrative assistant to have helped advance your company?
During the discovery call, we’ll talk about your goals and how you believe a virtual assistant will help you reach them. I’ll ask questions about the systems you currently use to keep track of your clients and advertise your brand. We’ll dream big.
3. Make sure we’re a good fit
Hiring a virtual assistant is a big decision—so take your time. Think about your values and the interests you want your virtual assistant to share. Do they have the skillset you’re looking for in an assistant?
