Jo What does admin really cost you?

⏳ On average Business owners spend 20+ hours a week on admin. That’s time you could be using to grow your business!

Let's do a quick reality check:

🔹 If your hourly rate is £50 and you spend 10 hours a week on admin…
🔹 That’s £500 a week lost to non-revenue-generating tasks!

Outsourcing to The Exec Desk means:

✅ Less time wasted on admin
✅ More focus on high-value tasks
✅ Flexible & cost-effective support with no overheads

Environmental awareness is paramount not only for our children’s future but for ours!

World Earth Day shouldn’t be dedicated to one day, we all should be doing our part every day as the environment and the world is everyone’s responsibility to look after.

Having worked with Housebuilders for the last 10 years I’m proud to have made the change and start working with some lovely sustainable and eco-friendly companies.

Doing your part can be simple changes. Here are a couple you can start doing right away:

🌿Stop using single use plastics
🌿Reduce food waste
🌿Rethink transport. That trip to the shop, can you walk it?

There are loads of other ways to be more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Together we can make the much needed change.

To celebrate the day, make sure you get out and go for a walk and enjoy nature.

What are you doing for World Earth Day? 🌍

It can be tricky identifying which element of your business needs improving and for small businesses where you do nearly all the roles, when do you have the time to take a step back and really look?

Most businesses find the following areas in need of improving:

🔍Reduce workload
🔍Increase revenue
🔍Build a team

Hiring a virtual assistant can help in all these three areas. By delegating some of your workload it frees you up to focus on what makes you money. It is also a cheaper way of building the team, we care about your business and will help you to achieve your goals ✨

Thought for today:
When you aim for perfection, you discover it is a moving target

There is never a perfect time, situation etc. Life is perfectly imperfect.

Rather than holding yourself to the impossible level of perfection, which is forever changing, instead hold yourself to values and standards.

Perfection will hold you back from building your business.

Who can relate to attempting to reach perfection?

Everyone struggles from time to time to maintain their motivation, its completely normal so don't stress!

Here are a few tips I personally use to help keep myself motivated:

✨ Create a list of things I need to get done. This will include small tasks. Nothing more satisfying crossing complete tasks off.
✨Concentrate on one task at a time. It is overwhelming looking ate everything that needs doing. Focusing on one task makes it feel manageable.
✨Reward yourself.
✨Review your progress. Looking at how far you have come is so encouraging.
✨Create a plan of action
✨Get organised

What are you tips to staying organised?

I’m sure I’m not alone in this but the sunshine just makes everything better ☀️

One thing I have taken away from the last year is to enjoy a daily lunchtime walk with my favourite fur babies 🐶🐶

Not only does it put me in a great mood but it makes me feel so much more motivated for an afternoon of work✨

So, if you haven’t got outside yet, take a screen break and enjoy a little sunshine 🤗🤩

Who’s your work from home companion?

It’s been a whole year of lockdown! I can’t believe it, am I the only one that feels like the year of lockdown have flown by?

It’s weird that working from home has become so normal to me. My two companions who have snoozed by my feet throughout it all are my two mini Dachshunds, Burtie and Digby. They will never realise how grateful I have been to have them keeping me company through my work day.

This handsome chap is Digby. Burtie you can’t see as he is snoozing under the blanket next to him. 🐶🐶

So, who has been keeping you company/sane through this crazy year?
