Andiamo: Monthly Progress

Despite the bank holidays and a very well-earned week away, April has been one of those months where, looking back, I realise just how much has happened alongside supporting my ever-growing customer base day to day.

A reflective look at March as a “reset” month for small business owners—balancing year-end pressure, new momentum, and the importance of pausing, refocusing, and working on your business.

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.

This month has been nothing short of amazing. You know those rare moments in self employment when everything feels like it's clicking into place? That’s where I’m at right now. New clients, new experiences, and a flurry of word-of-mouth recommendations have made it feel like the message is finally getting out there—and people are actually seeking me out. That’s surreal in the best possible way.

Reflections from a self employed Virtual Assistant on a whirlwind April—new clients, changing projects, and staying open-minded while running a growing business.

I know I say this every month when writing my review, but honestly—where does the time go?! It feels like I blinked, and another month has flown by. But with the changing seasons and the lighter evenings creeping in, I think we can all agree that there's a renewed sense of energy in the air. Creativity in Full Swing One of the highlights of the month has been the start of my Gracie Glass copper foil classes for the year. There’s something incredibly special about seeing peopl

I can’t believe it’s time to write my monthly review again—seriously, where is the time going?! Every month, I find myself flicking back through my diary just to remind myself of everything that’s happened. And this month? It’s been a big one! A New Website – Finally! 🎉 One of my biggest wins this month was launching my brand-new website. It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for a while, but I finally put my big girl pants on and got it done. And you know what? I’m really

For the past 30 years, I’ve been working in all sorts of jobs, from a paper route to bar work, telesales, recruitment, and even as a holiday rep. I eventually settled into what I thought would be my “real” career. Recently, however, I felt it was time for a change, perhaps an age thing, and wanted to try something new. I decided to dive into the world of self-employment. With lots of support from my amazing family and friends, I took the plunge and started my own small busine

This month has been a whirlwind of conversations! I’ve been at networking events left, right, and centre—morning, noon, and night—both in-person and online. I recorded two episodes of my ‘Strings To Your Bow’ podcast and I’ve started to work with a few different companies. And after all this talking and mingling, there’s one thing that’s become crystal clear: imposter syndrome is everywhere . It doesn’t care who you are, or what you do, and guess what? It’s definitely not jus

As I reflect on this month, I’m realizing just how different self-employment is from the world I used to know.

Month five as a Virtual Assistant and business is thriving. A new NHS contract, growing clients, and better brand planning are shaping an exciting next chapter. Well, here we are—month five as a Virtual Assistant. And what a whirlwind it’s been! If I’m being honest, I’ve been busier than I expected, but in the best way possible. I’m thrilled to share that I’ve recently been offered a six-month contract as a Contract Manager with an NHS Trust. This means three days a week are

As we approach the end of 2024, I find myself reflecting not just on the whirlwind of December but on the entire year. The word that keeps coming to mind is “chaotic”—but in the most transformative way. It’s been a year of massive change, personal challenges, and unexpected joys.

Time flies when you’re building something you love—and just like that, Andiamo Business Assistance is officially six months old! It’s been an incredible journey, and while self-employment is undeniably hard work, it’s given me a freedom I never thought possible in a traditional PAYE role.
