We all get the same 24 hours each day.
Some use them to build, learn, and move closer to their goals.
Others let them slip away, waiting for “the right time.”
Time itself isn’t the problem - how we “choose” to spend it is.
Every hour is an opportunity.
What will you do with yours today?

If you haven’t read “Snakes in Suits” by Paul Babiak and Robert Hare, I highly recommend it.
It’s truly an eye-opener about how individuals with psychopathic traits can operate undetected in the business world.

Back when I worked in corporations, I saw many of the behaviours described in the book.
Growing up under the wings of narcissistic and demanding mother I developed emotional intelligence, critical thinking, resilience, and those tools helped me recognise manipulative behaviour early on. So reading the book wasn’t surprising for me. It felt more like a confirmation of what I had already lived through in the corporate world, along with what I had learned at home.

What’s interesting is that this isn’t just about large corporations. As a business owner attending events, networking, business meetings and workshops, I’ve seen these traits in people across the broader business landscape. It’s a reminder that awareness and emotional intelligence remain crucial everywhere.

If you want to understand how some destructive individuals can thrive in professional environments, and how to protect yourself and your teams, this book is a must read.

Aggie: So… what if people expect a deal for Black Friday?
Avatar: They already got one. It’s called working with us.

Aggie: Wow, that’s a bit cold.
Avatar: I’m a robot. I don’t do emotional discounts.

Aggie: Don’t you think we should do something? A small offer?
Avatar: Why? Our services don’t expire. Value doesn’t go stale.

Aggie: But everyone’s doing sales right now.
Avatar: That’s the problem — everyone’s selling. We’re delivering.

Aggie: So no discounts, no flashy banners, no panic?
Avatar: None. We don’t lure customers with prices; we keep them with results.

Aggie: Hmm… that’s actually fair.
Avatar: Fair? It’s math. You bring value, they bring loyalty. Simple equation.

Aggie: I guess that’s why I keep you around.
Avatar: Obviously. Someone has to keep the emotions in check.

Aggie: Savage.
Avatar: Accurate.

Working from home doesn’t mean you escape office politics.

Take my little team here, for example. The clever strategist keeps an eye on everything, always planning her next move, while the charming troublemaker tries to get away with a little mischief. Every now and then, I have to step in with my “serious boss voice” to remind them who’s in charge.

It’s funny, but it’s also a good reminder: no matter where you work, some team members need guidance, some need encouragement, and sometimes you just need to assert a little authority to keep everything running smoothly.

Even at home, leadership never sleeps.

Knock knock
Are you scheduling screen-free breaks, or are your breaks just more scrolling?

I get it. When you run a business, your laptop and phone start to feel like part of you. And sometimes that background noise from podcasts, videos, or social media feels like it helps you stay productive. But if everything around you is digital noise, your mind never really rests.

Here’s your reminder to take a few minutes today to disconnect. No screens, no scrolling, no multitasking. Step outside, stretch, breathe, or let your thoughts wander.

Sometimes you need to disconnect to reconnect with your focus, your ideas, and yourself.

TRUST YOUR JOURNEY, BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF, AND BELIEVE IN THE PROCESS.

When I stepped into the virtual assistant world, everything felt new and uncertain.
Did I have the skills? The experience? The drive and discipline?
Yes, I came from a business-owning family, I had run teams, I had managed companies.
But this was different. I knew very little about the industry.

My first UKVA conference in 2023 was terrifying.
I didn’t know anyone. I didn’t have clients. I didn’t even know if this industry was real or just a side project for others.
I walked in feeling like an outsider, overwhelmed, insecure and constantly judged, mostly by myself.

But I reminded myself why I was there:
To find out.
To see if I could make this work.
And when I came home, I did everything I could to make it happen.

By the next year, 2024, things were different.
I had clients. I had stories to share. I was nominated for Best Newcomer in Business, which pushed me to step up and show up.
I still didn’t feel like I fully belonged, but I was more comfortable, more grounded, and I made genuine connections with amazing people, including one friend I’m still close with today.

Then came 2025.
A hard year in many ways, but something clicked.
I walked into that conference knowing I deserved to be there.
No hiding in my room. No avoiding small talk.
In fact, I was frustrated that coffee breaks weren’t long enough to talk to everyone.
I felt confident. Aligned. At home.

So here’s my message to anyone standing where I once stood:
Give yourself time. Stay focused on your journey.
Don’t let comparison or fear steal your spark.
You’ll grow, evolve, and one day you’ll walk into that same room, not as the overwhelmed version of yourself, but as the unstoppable one.

17 October 2025 – I walked in bold, confident and unshakeable.
And no one could take that away from me.

A massive thank you to Amanda Johnson for creating a space that brings so many industry professionals together for such valuable face-to-face connection.
I’m also grateful to all the amazing people I met along the way..you inspired me and filled my day with so much joy and happiness. Thank you!

Simplicity is the ultimate efficiency.

As a Strategic Operations Consultant, I help leaders transform operational complexity into clarity and control.

When your business is scaling, inefficiency often hides in plain sight – in scattered systems, unclear processes, and decision bottlenecks. My role is to untangle that, align your operations with your strategy, and build a foundation that supports growth without chaos.

Simplicity is not about doing less. It is about making every part of your business work smarter.

If operational complexity is slowing your momentum, it might be time to simplify.

Not Everyone’s Cup of Tea, and That’s Okay

You will not be everyone’s cup of tea.
People will judge before they even get to know you, your looks, background, hobbies or choices.
And that is fine. Their loss, not yours.

Because the right people will find you.
Your kind of people.
The ones who see you for who you are and value what you bring into their lives.

I have learnt that when someone truly takes the time to know you, your work, your energy and your heart, they appreciate you more deeply than words can say.

So here is to those people.
The ones who cheer us on, give genuine feedback, celebrate our wins and quietly support us behind the scenes.

These are the kind words of one of the business owners I had the pleasure of meeting during a course. We stayed in touch and I am forever grateful for her message.

I know I can be a lot. I am honest, direct and never sugar coat things, but I always bring support, encouragement and real advice.

That is why this feedback means so much to me.
It is not only about professional recommendations, but about the kind of person you are and the value you bring into others’ lives.

So thank you. I truly appreciate you. 💛

Hey business owner, ever feel like outsourcing help is just another expense because all you see are hourly rates adding up?
What if you could focus on results instead of hours?
That’s exactly why I offer flexible monthly retainers, so you can get the support you need without stressing about every minute tracked.
Let’s build a setup that fits your business goals, not just your to-do list.

A small setback doesn’t have to define your whole day. In business and in life, a simple shift in perspective can turn frustration into focus and challenges into opportunities. Choose to see things differently and the results will follow.

Most businesses see operations support as an expense. Smart leaders see it as a multiplier.
When I fix the way work actually flows, it doesn’t just save time; it frees up billable hours, accelerates sales cycles, and creates bandwidth for growth.
That’s not admin work. That’s operational ROI.
If your team is buried in tasks that don’t scale, it’s not a workload problem; it’s a strategy problem.

Success Story: Expanding My Role Across Diverse Businesses, Including Streamlining a Taxi Company

What I love most about my job is the incredible variety of businesses I get to support: from aesthetics and pharmaceuticals to hospitality, finance, and even the taxi industry.
This diversity constantly expands my skills and experience.

Recently, I had the opportunity to step in and help Tom, who runs a busy taxi company. Tom was feeling overwhelmed by the daily management tasks that were stealing precious time from his core business activities.
Together, we implemented streamlined systems that led to:
• A remarkable 30% reduction in daily admin time
• Faster responses to customer requests
• Improved cash flow monitoring

This transformation gave Tom the freedom to focus on expanding his service area and strengthening client relationships instead of getting bogged down in administrative work.

What started as a significant time commitment quickly became manageable in just a couple of hours each day.

Tom reflected, “I had no idea how much time I was losing until Aggie stepped in.”

This success story highlights how effective support can unlock growth and efficiency in any business.

Many people think outsourcing is an unnecessary expense or something only big companies can afford. But Tom proved that investing in the right support not only saves time, it also boosts profits, showing that smart help is an investment, not a cost.
