Do you frequently think to yourself...
"I need more hours in the day!"
I've been there!
We need to remind ourselves, that we can do ANYTHING but we can't do EVERYTHING.
Kia ora. I'm Jamie
That's me feeling on top of the world in majestic Fiordland. I live just below that mountain in the gorgeous community of Te Anau, operating Your Virtual Sidekick and providing business support for SME's to reach their goals - virtually!
I feel incredibly lucky to have fabulous clients and that I get to call this place home.
I work remotely from my home office and shared workspaces, taking care of repetitive or daunting tasks my clients just don't want to do. They get to focus on what they do best and delegate the rest.
And because I'm a freelance sole trader so there's no need to worry about PAYE, Kiwisaver or leave entitlements. A simple way to think about it is that my clients are paying for the tasks or projects, rather than a person.
So, what's my background and experience? Check out the "About Jamie" section.
