Clear Desk VA Podcast

I am thrilled to be joined by one of my virtual best business pals on this week's episode, the brilliant, talented, patient and inspiring Holly Curry. Holly is a website designer, digital marketing and launch whiz who used to be a VA and now is my right-hand website wonder woman! (Seriously - don't look any further if you are looking to invest in your website but she gets booked up so don't delay!)

In this episode we talk about all things outsourcing, as part of the services she offers and the support she has within her business, too.

I am absolutely thrilled to bring you this episode of the Clear Desk Podcast with Daniella Kempson. Daniella set up her business in 2020 after supporting her brother with his company and working full time (sound familiar?)

I loved chatting to Daniella about her niche, being an Associate and her relationships with her clients. This is one episode not to miss, especially if you're just starting out as a VA.

This week on the podcast I am joined by Charlotte Speak from Power of the Parent. Charlotte is a strengths based coach and she works with businesses to support parents in the workplace. Charlotte also works with parents to prepare for maternity leave and ace their return to work. She loves helping others to be at their best and I just loved chatting to her! We discuss how outsourcing various parts of her business has helped her grow over the past 12 months and there are some real wonderful juicy gems of truth in there that I think will resonate with a lot of us.

I'm joined today on the podcast by Lucy Critchley. Lucy is my fabulous and modest podcast producer and had a career working in TV and audio production before becoming a VA. In our chat Lucy shares how she set up her business during the pandemic, how she figured out her niche and how much she believes podcasts are the way forward. I loved chatting to Lucy and I hope you enjoy this one too. She's also recently presented an EXCELLENT training workshop in my Membership group about how to be an ace Podcast VA so, if you're looking to boost your services, definitely come and join us so that you can catch the replay!

In this episode I share with you my top 5 tips to delight your clients from afar. As Virtual Assistants and Online Business Managers, it can sometimes feel like Doing The Work is enough - well, if you want to grow your business and deepen your client relationships (which, if you're here, I am assuming you do!) then finding ways to delight and go beyond their expectations is a brilliant way to grow your business.

I also explain the Clear Desk VA Membership brilliance that we have going on at the moment! Sign up here.

In this episode I give you an honest #bts into how I have increased my online visibility in my business by being really consistent.

Often, when I mention the word "visibility", my VA Mentees shudder and ask "do I have to talk on Instagram Stories?!" This is not what I am talking about in this episode; instead I am letting you in on the realisation that I made about how my audience consume my content and how I moved my marketing visibility to allow me to work in a way that suits both my style of working, my own strengths and helps to boost my visibility.

In April 2021 I am launching the April Challenge in the Clear Desk VA Membership to support and boost Members' marketing visibility with weekday prompts to encourage your marketing to explore who you are as a person and also to find new ways to discuss your Virtual Assistant business and skills.

Join the Membership before midnight on 31st March 2021 to take part in the entire challenge.

In today's short episode I explain why giving myself permission to edit, change things and allow myself time has been essential for me to run my business.

This episode wasn't meant to be here, really - it was meant to be on a different topic - but something happened in my business last week which changed things and so I wanted to share how important it is to not make yourself wrong when things happen that you can't control.

If you'd like to learn more, please check out my 1-1 VA Mentoring - I'd love to support you.
