In 5 years I've gone from a one woman Virtual Assistant 'agency' to a team of 36. And I have learnt A Lot.
Much of which I have learnt the hard way.
In today's episode, I'm sharing my 5 biggest learnings (there are so many still to talk about, I feel like I could do a whole season on it!) from the last 5 years.
I've learnt from mistakes, I've learnt from the people around me, some of these lessons I am still learning, and might be a lifelong process.
