Do you look like this guy?


I know first hand that running your own business is no small feat. One minute you’re on top of the world, ticking off your to-do list like a pro… and the next, you're knee-deep in emails, chasing invoices, and wondering when you last took a proper day off.


Sound familiar?


The Burnout Always Sneaks In


Burnout doesn’t always come with flashing lights and dramatic breakdowns. Sometimes it’s the quiet stuff:


  • Feeling constantly knackered, even after a decent night's sleep.

  • That creeping dread when Monday rolls around (again).

  • A to-do list that feels like it’s breeding when you’re not looking.

  • Losing the spark for the business you used to love.


And let’s be honest, small business owners wear a lot of hats. You’re the boss, the bookkeeper, the marketer, the customer service team, and probably making the tea as well. It’s a lot for one person.


Enter Me - The Virtual Assistant (Your New Secret Weapon)


Here’s the good news, you don’t have to do everything on your own.


A Virtual Assistant (VA) can take the pressure off, so you can get back to doing the bits of your business you actually enjoy. Or, you know… take a weekend off without feeling guilty.


Here’s what I could help with:


  • Clearing your inbox - No more drowning in unread emails.

  • Diary management - Keep your schedule under control and avoid double bookings.

  • Admin tasks - Data entry, document formatting, customer follow ups—you name it.

  • Social media support - Keep your presence online without being glued to your phone.


All my Services are listed here. Whether it’s just a few hours a week or more regular support, having someone reliable in your corner can make a huge difference.


It’s Not an Expense - It’s an Investment


Hiring a VA might feel like a luxury, but it’s really a smart move for long-term growth (and sanity). Delegating the day-to-day bits gives you time to focus on the big picture, whether that’s scaling up, launching something new, or simply having time for a proper lunch.


Because let’s be honest - your business runs better when you’re not running on empty.


Ready to lighten the load?


If burnout’s been hanging around like an uninvited guest, it might be time to bring in some help. I can give you the breathing room you need to grow your business without burning out.
