Five years down the line and it’s hard to believe how far I have come. I have worked in different sectors and different job styles. Some were fun and some not so much.
From working in a toy shop (basically playing with toys all day and using the excuse of ‘I’m showcasing them’ to my boss, who thought it was hilarious), to being a barista in 2 major coffee chains, to working in hospitality and office environments, I have ventured into the online world.
When Covid hit in 2020 (which was supposed to be a good year🤣), I realized the future of business was going to be online. After doing some research, I settled on a Virtual assistant diploma with Pitman training (Click here to check it out, really fantastic course).
When I lost my full time office job, it was the jolt I needed to start my VA business. My office job had become the source of all my misery and unhappiness and it was a relief to be free of it.
With mentorship from the wonderful Kellie Williams at At the drop of a Hat VA matching services (Click here to check out the services she provides), I have launched my business, Firebird VA, and am now in the process of building a network and honing my skills to find my ideal client and start this wonderful journey I have embarked on.
Always remember, a Phoenix has to burn before it can rise again. This is what I have based my business on. I had to walk through difficulties and unhappiness (the fire) to emerge on the other side as a phoenix ready to face this brave new world.
Love love love this!! And you look incredible! xx
Great photo! And congratulations on starting your business! I’m so envious. 🙂
Ah thank you ☺️☺️
Hi, Debs. Thanks for following. For some reason, I thought you already were. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete. x
Debs, it might just be me, but that very dark background is off-putting. I could hardly see my own comment. But that’s up to you, if you think it suits your blog. 🙂 x
I will see if I can find a better background
Would you mind having another look? I’ve made some changes
Black text on light orange is so much clearer. About 40% of bloggers are in the over 60s age group, like me. Very dark backgrounds can be quite challenging for older eyes. (I also have cataracts, awaiting surgery) It looks so much brighter now, Debs. Thank you! 🙂
Thank you so much for the advice and help ☺️

Amazing thank you ☺️
I just want to help. You don’t have to do it though. 🙂
I really appreciate it
