You might even feel like your business is in a rut, unable to grow, and leaving you feeling bored. Don’t worry – all of us are in the same boat there. But if you want to not just survive, […]
What do you think a VA does? Don’t worry if your answer was something along the lines of ‘help businesses get stuff done’.

Do you ever wish that you had another pair of hands at home? Someone to make sure all the bills get paid, that the kid’s activity letters are sent, […]

Well, this year has been eventful, hasn’t it? Particularly the last month or so, when the country has gone from a little anxious but otherwise channelling the ‘keep calm and carry on’ mentality, to full on lockdown across the globe as we tackle this horrific virus. This means people all across the country have had to abandon their offices, and instead set up shop at home for the foreseeable future. If you’re not used to working from home, this will be a big adjustment for you. But don’t worry, we’re […]
It took Van Gough just 2 days to paint his ‘Starry Night masterpiece’. The Rolling Stones wrote their mega-hit ‘I can’t get no satisfaction’ in just 2 hours. Lady GaGa and RedOne worked together to create her breakout hit and catchy dance tune ‘Just Dance’ in just 10 minutes. Some of the greatest pieces of art, music, design and sculpture have been conceived and created in a ridiculously short period of time.
