Here is why you should outsource to a virtual assistant…

by

Do you deserve a bit more time and money? We believe you do.

We believe every small business owner needs and deserves a great Virtual Assistant. Why? Because a great VA will save you time and make you money. Bear with us on this one…

So let’s just say you have a task you have to do each month. It takes you 5 hours. Quite honestly you hate doing it, you don’t really have the skill set for it and you procrastinate over it each month.

It’s always sat on your to do list making you feel slightly uncomfortable, guilty and let’s face it a little bit resentful that it won’t just vanish from your list FOREVER.
You have one in mind, don’t you?

If you hand this task over to a VA with the right skill set it’s likely they can do this task in a fraction of the time… or they could even automate it for you.

The task can be outsourced to a virtual assistant in 3 hours each month, saving you 5 hours.  Or it could be automated as a one-off project and now your task only takes 30 min each month!

Now you have 4.5 hours free, 5 if you just outsource the 30 min each month. 5 hours to focus on your business and what you are great at doing; to look after a new profitable client; get out networking; spend time on marketing, sales, strategy or simply spending time with family or friends. What about that hobby you’ve let slide or that new service or product you’ve been wanting to launch?

Now just think about all the processes you have in your small business. Taking up time and energy. Keeping you away from productive, money making tasks. Repetitive but necessary processes that a VA could look after, schedule or automate for you. Whether its admin, social media or email marketing. Those tasks that are taking you hours each month could take a VA a lot less and your time is then… well that’s up to you what you do with it!

We’ve proven this time and time again with happy clients and we would love to show you how we could do the same for your business.

Turning a Passion into a Business

by

There are many reasons to start your own business – independence, to cut the commute, to be your own boss – but sometimes the starting point is a personal passion. Your New Life Plan is a Pink Spaghetti client with a very personal mission.

Case Study:

Your New Life Plan

Going through an early menopause herself prompted Clare Shepherd to start ‘Your New Life Plan’ to help other women on the same journey. 

After a hysterectomy at 39 following years of ill-health, Clare decided to take control of her well-being and explore natural solutions to enable her to come off HRT.

3 years of nutrition training gave her the idea to turn this quest into a business:

“I’d learned so much, realising that managing the menopause years needs to be ‘fluid’ with different strategies employed to address both the physical and emotional, nutrition being fundamental, and it would have been criminal not to share what I’d learned with other women struggling through the menopause years too. I decided to put my nutrition qualification to good use.”

A Facebook page generated over 8000 followers within 12 months!  There were clearly a lot of women out there who were totally confused about what they could do to help themselves if they didn’t want to take HRT.

A trial online programme had amazing results, however there were setbacks:

“I was an innocent regarding marketing and sales and technology was a foreign language.  I met so called ‘experts’ who really weren’t, and cost me a lot of money, yet I was getting burnout from trying to do everything myself.”

To overcome these Clare had to learn what was needed to create a successful business, to know who to trust and to outsource where possible to avoid becoming overwhelmed.

A personal tragedy brought home to her that we only have one life, that we should live each day tothe full and have a responsibility to ourselves to keep as healthy as possible.

“I couldn’t stop what I had started in spite of the setbacks. I knew what I shared helped so many.”

So was it important to Clare that her business started out as a personal passion?

“Without question! It would have been so easy to give up so many times. Without passion it’s too hard to get through the tough times, ride the roller-coaster of business and life combined. With passion the results you achieve, the joy or change you bring to others lives is worth everything.”
