We recently felt like we hit a plateau with our business. We felt like we were going along with the flow, progress seemed to stagnate, and we found ourselves stuck for direction even though we had lots of ideas about where we saw the business going long-term. Despite our best efforts and intentions, we felt as though we had reached a standstill in our journey towards achieving our vision and goals. We recognised we needed guidance and support and made the decision to enlist the help of a business mentor.

In recent years, remote work has evolved from a convenient option to a transformative force reshaping the traditional work landscape. The statistics speak volumes, highlighting the undeniable success of remote work and providing a compelling case for companies to embrace this progressive direction.

We have been in the business for nearly 2 years now and have found ourselves having many interesting conversations debunking the common misconceptions of what a Virtual Assistant (VA) or Online Business Manager (OBM) is and does. We love these types of conversations. It not only teaches us of how the profession can be perceived in the workforce but also allows us an insight into the potential anxieties that a prospective client could have.

In this article we highlight some of the common discussions and misconceptions we have had the pleasure to debunk in numerous conversations and we hope you find this helpful in aiding you to make a step forward with hiring a VA/OBM.

When we started the business it was thrilling and challenging. As founders who have navigated the unpredictable waters of starting a business, we reflect on the lessons learned and the insights gained along the way.

In this blog, we share the five things we wished we knew when we took our first steps into the world of entrepreneurship, and hopefully this is a useful guide for other aspiring entrepreneurs on their path to success.

In the ever-evolving landscape of remote work, where the traditional office space is replaced by virtual collaboration, the significance of teamwork has never been more important. At CB Virtual Assistant, we recognise that effective teamwork is not just a given; it's the very essence of our commitment to excellence. In this article we talk about why teamwork is crucial to us especially in the remote realm and shed light on our unique approach - our ‘dynamic duo’ working model.

We're all about people, and our clients mean the world to us. When it comes to managing client relationships from afar, it's all about a mix of good old chit-chat, tech-savviness, and keeping our clients at the heart of everything we do.
