I don’t need to tell you how business goes, you already know. Feeling buried under an endless to-do list, caught between managing emails, calls, client needs and your own personal life (which let’s be honest, suffers heavily). 


Running a small business can feel like an impossible task when you’re doing it alone, especially if you’re juggling school runs and family life too, wondering if you’ll ever have the time to actually grow. 


I know because I’ve been there, so, if you’ve ever wished for someone to take some of the weight off your shoulders (or just be your accountability cheerleader), a remote executive assistant might just be your answer. 


FIRST THINGS FIRST, WHAT IS A REMOTE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT?

You’re probably already in the know when it comes to what an executive assistant is, so a remote executive assistant is exactly what it sounds like - a highly skilled professional (me) who provides administrative, organisational and business support to business owners and executives, but does it all virtually. 


From managing emails, scheduling appointments, managing documents and bookkeeping and all the important stuff, that pulls you away from what you do best without the extra overheads of having someone in your physical office or space (which also means it’s cost effective).



HOW DID I BECOME A REMOTE EA?


I started my career in construction, managing admin, project management and supporting senior members of the team until I went on maternity leave and decided to go it alone - you can read the full story just here. When I first started, there was never enough time in the day, and the admin stole most of my time. 


As a small business owner, and mum, I realised if I was struggling, so were many others just like me - so I decided to pour my energy into helping business owners just like you and I can do it from anywhere. Now, I work with so many amazing business owners to help them thrive (and get their life back).


WHO EXACTLY DO I WORK WITH?


I work with small business owners, solo entrepreneurs, mums in business and executives with growing teams who are exhausted, on the brink of burnout or just tired of doing the work they don’t enjoy. They're so brilliant at what they do, but drowning in so much admin and the demands of their day-to-day not only affects them, it affects their business too and not for the better. 


I know firsthand how lonely and stressful that can feel, so it’s my mission to step in and help wherever I can, in whichever way I can so they (you) can focus on what actually matters most and love what they (you) do. Which is especially helpful if you’ve already fallen out of love with your business because you’re already doing the absolute most to keep it afloat at the expense of yourself, your family, and your time and energy. 


OKAY, NOW THE GOOD STUFF - WHAT DO I ACTUALLY DO AND HOW CAN I HELP YOU?


What you might not know, is that executive assistants do far more than mange inboxes and calendars (although we’re pretty great at that), but we also support with organising client projects, booking travel and even helping you create smoother, more efficient systems so your business not only runs like clockwork, but can run WITHOUT YOU. 


I’m not just an extra pair of hands, but I’m you right hand man and what I do is completely down to what you need whether that’s setting up workflows, holding you accountable for your to-do-list, managing your books and yes managing your calendar (which is actually harder than it looks when you have multiple client calls a day, customer management, your actual move the needle work and admin) - if you’d like to see my full list of services, they’re just here


WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU AND YOUR SMALL BUSINESS?


Firstly, you get to breathe, which I think is a relief for ANYONE running a business because it is no easy feat and takes a LOT. But, you get to finish your week with more energy, less stress, an almost done (because life happens) to-do list and not just confidence in yourself knowing everything is under control, but confidence in your business and your big dream of making it a success. 


And for your business? You get to pour your energy into the areas that really need you, generate income and get you closer to your overall goals. Behind the scenes, you’ll get structure, systems, an organised digital workspace, support with all of your big ideas and implementation and someone who has your best interest at heart all the way through the messy, stressy and beautiful moments of business. 


DOES THIS SOUND LIKE SOMETHING YOU NEED? HERE'S HOW YOU CAN WORK WITH ME!

No pressure to buy, especially if you’re still figuring out what you want and need, but if you’re ready to

take a leap of faith in yourself, your business and me, I offer flexible packages that can be completely tailored to you at an affordable rate.


Whether you need support a few hours a week, an ADHOC basis or everyday and the process is incredibly simple. We have a chat, get to know each other, set a plan and get started. I work around your schedule (within my availability) and communication style too, because you feeling supported is the most important part of what I do. 

And, you’re here just in time because my books are open for two new clients from now! 


ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS GET IN TOUCH...

It’s time for you to stop drowning in admin, start focusing on what matters most to you and your business and get support, not because you need it, but because you deserve it and so does your future (that wasn’t as cheesy in my head…BUT I stand by it).
