Happy International VA day to all my fellow VAs! We are all a part of the most amazing and supportive industry, I still pinch myself when I stop and think about how different my life is to this time last year.
Today I took a day out and went off on a training course, it was an investment in myself which is also an investment in my business and means I can now offer a new service to new clients and improves the service I can give to my current clients - the perfect way to spen...d International VA day!
The best part of the day was reading this lovely post this morning. It almost feels wrong to receive gratitude for doing something I absolutely love!
To my fellow amazing VAs Clare Farthing, Lynsey Cowan, Amanda Cree, Victoria Tretis who all helped start my VA business and who continue to support me along the way....you're all superstars......there really isn't any competition in this game and I absolutely love it! Thanks for being such an amazing VA coach Amanda Johnson

Is email marketing a big part of your business? Are you up to date with the GDPR changes and do you understand how to market in a compliant way after 25th May? If the answer is no, then don't worry, Mailchimp is one of the best ways to get your email campaign out and make sure you are compliant. I have booked myself on to this amazing course starting next week with the lovely Alex Platt so I can get to grips with Mailchimp properly and make the most out of email marketing to help me grow my business! Who's going to join me?

Thanks to Kat Hannon Photography for my new headshot! I've been putting this off for a while as I hate having my photo taken, but you made me feel very at ease!

Who has been keeping up to date with GDPR? Who is even aware of it or what it might mean for their business? I've been following this group, Suzanne Dibble is an awarding lawyer with a very impressive career including working for Richard Branson. I have bought Suzanne's GDPR compliance pack which has everything I need for my website, email marketing and business processes to become compliant. Suzanne is also doing live videos every day until compliance deadline of May 25th an...d the recordings of these videos are also included in this pack.
If anyone else would like to become compliant by purchasing the pack, it is an utter bargain at £97 (there are a lot of legal templates included in this pack) BUT the price increases at midnight On Thursday 29th March - 2 days left!!!!!!! I have an affiliate link for this pack, which I will post in the comments below.
I really can't recommend this enough - even if you don't want to buy the pack, make sure you join the group and keep up to date. ONLY 2 MONTHS LEFT TO GET COMPLIANT!!!!!

Don't forget there is less than a week to go to submit your tax return online and pay. Who is organised and already done it? Who is wishing they had kept better records?!!

This is so true, being self employed is hard work, and taking any type of time off takes a lot of planning - but it is so worth it! I have never worked so hard and yet been so happy. Who else feels the same?
