This week Clever Mamma chats to the lovely Barb from Admin Angels. With two little angels of her own (plus a third beautiful bubs on the way), and a business offering everything from admin to event management, she is one busy mamma!
1. Tell us a little about yourself and your business... Admin Angels is a “Virtual Assistant” business offering small to medium sized businesses administration and bookkeeping support on a needs basis. About me – well I’m a Mum, a wife and I love scrap booking (my “me” time!), going to the movies, camping, traveling, reading and karate.
2. How did your business begin? I started Admin Angels when I was on maternity leave with my first daughter. She was about 8 months old and a great sleeper during the day, so I was quite bored and wondered what I could do. I always thought about being an “office angel” to small businesses, so I did some research and stumbled into the world of “Virtual Assistants”! I now have 2 beautiful daughter’s (4 years old and 2.5 years old) and I’m 6 months pregnant with my 3rd child. I have 3 contractors working with me regularly to help me out with workload and I’m about to put on another contractor.
3. The bits I love... I love the flexibility of being self employed, being here for my children when they need me, and doing work that I thoroughly enjoy.
4. The bits I not-so-love... Having to sack clients, which I’ve had to do a couple of times.
5. Any tips for other Clever Mammas? Don’t give up and listen to people’s advise, but always follow your own instinct.
6. Now the important stuff, Devonshire Tea versus Coffee & Cake? Oh, can I please have a hot chocolate and cake?? Not a coffee drinker and have been off tea since being pregnant.
Thanks a bunch for stopping by Barb. To get in contact with Admin Angels, it's super dooper easy, just head over to the listing on the Clever Mamma Directory. Hmm... I think every Clever Mamma needs an "Admin Angel" in her life, don't you?
