Common Myths About VA’s.

A Client Who Walked in with a Piggy Bank and a Business Plan

Last week, I had one of the most heartwarming discovery calls of my career. My 10-year-old son approached me and said:
“Mum, I’d like to hire you as my virtual assistant.”
He wanted help finding fun, safe sports activities and summer camps to join-and in his words, he doesn’t have the expertise to know what’s safe and what’s… well, dodgy. But instead of assuming I’d just do it, he came to me with a full-on business proposition.
I initially told him, “This is absolutely something I’d love to help you with-I’m your mum!”
But he replied:
“No, Mum, I want to be treated like a customer. This is important to me.”
He didn’t just want help-he wanted to feel involved, make decisions, and respect the process. So I treated it exactly like a proper project:
• We had a discovery call (yes, an actual Zoom call-I could hear his excitement from the other room before he even joined)
• He outlined his deliverables: a printable spreadsheet with sports camps, links, and contact information
• He wanted it neatly organised so he could highlight his top picks
• And he strongly requested an invoice-because, of course, he came ready with his piggy bank

This wasn’t about me not having time.
This was about him taking initiative, valuing my expertise, and wanting to do it the right way.
And I saw it as a beautiful opportunity to honour his mindset and encourage his growing confidence and autonomy.
And yes I delivered the invoice. He was a very happy customer. It was also a special first for me. The first invoice I’ve ever issued in my career in “the mother currency”-hugs and kisses.

For a client like this? I’ll always make time. Honestly, I’d pay him to give me jobs like this.

And perhaps most beautifully of all-it reminded me that in a world where people so often try to take advantage, disregard your time, or overstep boundaries, a ten-year-old came forward with a fresh, respectful perspective.
He understood that nothing comes for free.
He respected my expertise, valued my time, and honoured the boundaries without question.
That’s something many adults could still learn from. And I absolutely loved every second of it.

Being invisible isn’t a strategy- it’s a mistake.
Your social media is your shop window.
If it’s dusty, outdated, or empty, people walk right by.
Show up! Stay current! Be seen! Be consistent!

Because if you’re not visible, you’re forgettable.

New Month. New Week. New Excuses?

How many times have you heard this:
“I’ll start Monday.”
“Next month is a clean slate.”
“New year, new me.”

It sounds nice. It sounds hopeful. But let’s call it what it really is for most people — procrastination dressed up as planning.

Waiting for a date on the calendar to start something important isn’t discipline — it’s avoidance.
It’s deferring responsibility and pretending the delay is part of the process.

Because if you truly meant it, if the task or goal actually mattered to you — you’d start now.
Not Monday.
Not the 1st.
Not after vacation.
NOW!!!!!

I’m not saying that structure is bad. A new week is a great checkpoint — a moment to assess, align, and recalibrate. I know, trust me. Guilty as charged, but I managed to work on it!
But there’s a difference between setting the tone for the week… and using the calendar as a crutch.

The harsh truth?
Most people are waiting because deep down, they’re afraid of the work. Or the failure. Or the discomfort that comes with doing the real thing.
But life doesn’t wait. The opportunity doesn’t care what day it is.

Start messy. Start imperfect. Start now.

Because those who act don’t need Monday motivation — they’re too busy doing.

How it feels vs. how it really is.

We tend to blow our mistakes out of proportion.
Your Inner Critic is a Drama Queen.
Most of the time, your worst moments aren’t even on other people’s radar.

Brand consistency isn’t just about aesthetics - it’s a boundary. And we protect ours.

From day one, I’ve been crystal clear about who we are, what VA Swoosh stands for, and the values behind it.
Every part of our brand - the voice, the visuals, the energy - has been built with intention, creativity, and a whole lot of heart. It’s personal. It’s ours. And it shows. I am extremely proud of what I have achieved…no one sees the struggle and hardship, but you.

We might be young, but we’re not new to this.
So when a karaoke version pops up -off-key, missing the rhythm, and lacking the soul -it definitely doesn’t go unnoticed.

We’ve worked hard to build something real. And because of that:

• Our brand is trademark registered
• IPO-backed in the UK
• Protected, original, and legally ours

Now, just to be clear- I’m not affiliated with any other businesses.
I do not lend out our brand voice - and especially not our logo!!!

That mark represents everything we’ve built: a business rooted in high ethical standards, operating with integrity, transparency, and a commitment to excellence. It reflects the bar we’ve set and the trust we’ve earned - through consistency, care, and genuine connection.

We hold ourselves to that standard every single day - because that’s what our clients, our community, and our team deserve.

So if something feels like us, looks like us, or sounds like us… but isn’t?
Trust your instinct: it’s NOT US!!!

VA Swoosh is VA Swoosh ONLY!
No mimicry. No shortcuts. No compromises.

And to the ones trying to mimic us: find your own voice - don’t sing along to ours.

July: The Month I Took My Spine, My Sanity and My Saucepan for a Spin

Well, July pulled a fast one again. Blink and it’s gone, like my patience when someone says, “You’re still wearing that collar?” Yes, Karen. I am. It’s fashion and function.
This month, I decided to embrace my inner sloth (by medical requirement, of course)

Meetings? I showed up for two. I know, slow down, right? But one of them was with a fellow local VA who turned out to be an absolute gem. Imagine two virtual assistants unplugging from their online caves and meeting in the wild. It was healing. Possibly more healing than my actual physiotherapy.Izzy Pysanczyn Thank you!

Friendship audit? Completed it, mate. July taught me something big. You really learn who your people are when you’re horizontal and slightly broken. Turns out, “thinking of you” hits different when it’s actually followed by thought. So to those who reached out, checked in and remembered that I’m still human and not just a LinkedIn post, you’re the real MVPs. The rest? I’ve seen better loyalty in expired milk. We don’t do seasonal friends over here.

Culinary comeback of the century. I dusted off my (very expensive) culinary degree, and actually cooked. Why? Because my dad came to visit, and nothing says “I love you” like stress-sweating over a hot stove while pretending it’s all “fun.” Naturally, everyone loved it, which was the real tragedy. Now they think I should do it again. Weekly. As if I don’t have a full-time job being fabulous and spinally challenged.

Granddad + Grandson = Core Memories.
Watching my dad connect with my boy was something else. He’s a business-owning powerhouse, and this time he brought more than just hugs. He came with the kind of life advice they absolutely do not teach at school. Things like: don’t be afraid to ask questions, collaborate, try and fail, then try again. There isn’t always one right answer, and sometimes the smartest move is just exploring your options and backing yourself, even if no one else sees the full picture yet.

Mobility? Low. Spirit? Sky-high.
I may not be doing backflips at the playground, but running on a carousel (at least emotionally) with my son felt like a full Olympic event. Small wins. Big laughs. Slight dizziness. Worth it.

So July might have looked chill, but in reality? It was soul-refreshing, occasionally spine-crunching and filled with the kind of people (and pasta) that make life good. Here’s to friends who show up, food that heals, and reminding everyone that even in a neck brace, I’m still a FORCE to be reckoned with😈
