In around 90% of the discovery calls I have when I ask what support is needed in the clients business, the tasks are very front end, marketing focussed and they don't want support in their programs or client delivery.

It is incredibly easy to assign blame to a team member. But something I often to talk to business owners about, when they have had a negative team relationship in the past is about having a critical look at their place, as the business owner and leader in the relationship.

The question I'm answering today is: How can you navigate growth so that you and your team feel sup...

Having a VA or any team member for the first time can feel really stretchy. It calls us into a leadership role that you maybe never saw yourself having when you got into business for yourself. It makes you a team leader or a manager who is responsible for team performance, and for managing the outcomes of others. Once you have team members though, it's a non-negotiable to step into the role a...

I know how easy it is to get to this time of year and feel really checked out of business. In previous years that has certainly been the case for myself and my clients, when we feel like we've pushed through the year, done all of the things and then we get into the energy of winding down, and by the time we get to November we're feeling really checked out and start future tripping into t...
