When I became a VA a few years ago, my first thought was, “how in the world will I connect with the people I work with?” With a computer screen between us, it felt like an impossible task. To really have a true relationship with my clients or my coworkers. Yet a few years have past and I feel as though I’ve gotten to know. Even more than some people I’ve worked with in person!
Running your own business can be both mentally and financially rewarding. But, it can also require than even the most dedicated entrepreneur can manage sometimes. Hiring an employee or two is a major milestone. Bringing new people on board too soon can bring more stress than it relieves. Hiring your first employee means you need to be ready to take on the significant burden that is navigating payroll taxes, employment laws, and related red tape.

When one year ends and a new one begins. Taking stock of what went right and what went wrong in the name of self-improvement is quite common. While most new year’s resolutions are abandoned in a matter of weeks, here’s one you should aim to keep: improving your social media presence. The right management system will keep new customers coming in, old customers coming back and everyone engaged.
In this month’s CVA Guidance YouTube discussion, Who Can Benefit from a VA, we discuss some surprising businesses!
The ability to work from home has been a dream for so many, right up until it became a necessity. Like so many things, the reality of the situation can be a far cry from the idealized fantasy. Throw in the added stress of a global pandemic paired with an economic rollercoaster, and your day-to-day can feel more like surviving than thriving.
"A superb service, they understood my needs right from the start and all the way through, whether your big or small, am confident Contemporary VA can help any organisation or individual meet there outsourcing needs. I was kept up to date on all ongoing work, and work was only done when the go ahead from me was given. No surprises, no hassle, and even added bonus support from a dedicated admin staff whom coordinated all my tasks to various assistants I am now proceeding with working with the company on an ongoing basis and hopefully long term 10/10! Thanks"
