Just 2 of our team! |
But time has eluded me and in my exhausted state I actually wasn't sure what to write about anyway!
Ruby is now 17 months old and it's so different yet again.
I did some work this morning and then Ruby and I went and played in our vegetable patch. That means I weeded and Ruby munched on dirt and marvelled at the many ladybirds and the various tomato plants we have.
Now I'm back in the office and Ruby is making it hard for Rob to get any work done while she taps away on his keyboard. Thank goodness for Uncles!
I'm really proud of our achievements this year. It's been a roller-coaster and some months we've all really felt the pressure and struggled to stay positive. But we've always sat down together and re-assessed what we were doing and how we were doing it. That really works for us.
The thing I've noticed the most is how we've really brought some amazing people together in our 'team'. I'm pleased we manage to attract these types of people - proactive and positive people with great ideas and great attitudes.
I'm working on two business projects with two different Virtual Assistants who are so dedicated and skilled. And at Webtastic and VYVA we have a number of people who are there, keen to share ideas and contribute to our combined goals - they know who they are! It makes the journey way more interesting and fun.
This year I launched Run Your Business Life (www.runyourbusinesslife.com.au) and I have partnered up with Monique de Groot for that. I have a few others who are interested in contributing too, which would be delightful. It's all about juggling life and work when you run your own business. It's so very different to working for someone else. Different challenges and different impacts. So to provide a space to share ideas and experiences about it seemed like a good idea!
Another new project for me, and one I've had on my to-do list for some years now, is working on a VA Magazine. Another VA, Renee Chapman, set up a VA Magazine and I saw so much potential in it and asked to be involved. Together, as co-editors, we have just released a new issue and we are hoping it is received with the excitement it was made with! You can see it here at www.todaysva.com.au
I'm also working as a consultant for Arbonne so I run workshops about Swiss Beauty Skincare and Makeup which are lots of fun. I love that I have a house full of these beautiful vegan friendly products and that I can share that with others. It's a bit outside the square for me, so it feels quite separate to everything else we do, but I'll see where it takes me! www.rosieshilo.myarbonne.com.au
So who's on your team? Our team is a combination of people who contribute to our business and our personal life and because of the types of people they are, it's usually a blend of both!
Thank you to our team - you are so amazing and you delight me constantly.
Cheers!
Rosie
