If you’re feeling the pressure of “new year, new you” — maybe a word of the year this is a gentler alternative to resolutions worth trying.

At Andiamo Business Assistance, I'm committed to supporting self-employed professionals and small business owners every step of the way — helping you plan, grow, and thrive in 2026 and beyond.

At Andiamo Business Assistance, we believe that clarity isn’t just polite — it’s powerful. It builds confidence, saves time, and makes collaboration smoother for everyone. So next time you’re tempted to drop a bit of industry jargon into conversation, ask yourself: Is this helping me connect — or just making me sound clever?

As we move into December, I’m embracing the shift in pace and looking forward to what the end of the year has in store.

Running your own business doesn’t have to be isolating or overwhelming. With the right support system — a combination of networking, mentorship, and professional help — you can enjoy the independence of self-employment while staying productive, motivated, and connected.

Hiring a Virtual Assistant  or a support expert can save you time, reduce stress, and help you focus on what you do best. But many self-employed  people and small business owners  struggle to know where to start. Here’s my step-by-step guide  to outsourcing successfully, based on years of experience supporting busy clients at Andiamo Business Assistance . Running a business can be incredibly rewarding — but it’s also overwhelming at times. Between client calls, marketing, bo

We’ve all heard “That’s not my job” or “I wasn’t asked to do that” in workplaces, shops, online. But it’s those small, unnoticed acts that build trust, respect and integrity. Picking up a bit of litter, watering the parched plant in reception, answering the phone that’s been ringing off the hook while everyone looks around—these are the things that change the tone of a place. They're the difference between a team and a group of people who just share a space.

Based in beautiful Bingley, Andiamo Business Assistance offers bespoke support for business owners who want a steady, reliable, and proactive Virtual Assistant by their side. Whether it’s help with admin, comms, planning, or bouncing around ideas – I’m your Support Expert. Let’s make the most of this quiet spell – and get you ready to hit the ground running come September.

There’s something about running your own business — whether you’re a startup founder, freelancer, or proudly self-employed — often from people who have never run a business, never tried what you're doing, and have zero experience beyond maybe watching a few Instagram Reels and listening to one podcast. The next time someone offers you an unsolicited “you should” or “you shouldn’t” — especially if they’ve never been in your shoes — take a breath and smile. You’re allowed to do

Let’s be honest: staying visible as a business owner can feel like shouting into the void. It’s easy to feel like it’s all pointless. But here’s the truth: it isn’t. So if today feels thankless, if you’re wondering whether to write that post or go to that event — do it. Stick with it. Your future clients are noticing — even if they’re not telling you yet.

As my little business tiptoes toward its very first birthday (1st July — mark your diaries, or feel free to pop a gift in the post! 😉), I find myself reflecting on the past 12 months with a glass of very reasonably priced Aldi Champagne in hand and a whole lot of gratitude in my heart.

We often hear the phrase “Nice guys finish last.” But in business—and in life—I’ve found the opposite to be true. People like working with nice people. Not the flashy ones shouting the loudest online. Not the ones who make life complicated. But the ones who just… make everything that bit easier.
