Hi Reader,
​
I’m celebrating this week as I finally hit the submit button on my Goldman Sachs 10KSB business growth plan. It’s been an incredible four months learning from some top business leaders, amazing academics and a fabulous community of like-minded founders and I’m excited to get cracking with the plan.

It also means I have a little more room to breathe and can focus additional time and energy on all things VA Handbook. I’ve spent the last 7 weeks getting to know the business and many of you, and next week we have a full day’s planning session on what’s next, so…
​
​… please hit reply and tell me what you want (what you really, really want! 🎶)

(Sorry, I’m a child of the ‘90s and can’t help myself. 🙈)
​
Anyway, whether it’s a specific type of content, training or even an event you’d love us to run, this is YOUR chance to submit your ideas and help us to help YOU.
​

🙋‍♀️ Thinking about hiring associates?​
​
Having built a fairly large associate team over the years, this is something I get asked about a lot.

So, I’ve documented my entire process, along with lots of tips from my experiences, and put it all together in a handy FREE guide for you.

You’re welcome.

📅 Newcastle VA Meet Up

I’m heading north to attend Atomicon next month and am also looking forward to meeting some new faces at our first Newcastle meet up which is taking place on Wednesday, 17th June from 10.00 – 12.00 at The Crowne Plaza, Newcastle (opposite the station). Please do so sign up here if you’d like to join us.

Whether you’re an established VA, just starting out or perhaps only pondering the idea of setting up your VA business, I’d love to meet you and hear more about your journey.

If you’re going to be at Atomicon but can’t make it to the meet up, do hit reply and let me know. I’d love to catch up with you and say hi at the event!
