Overcoming Resistance: How Not to Give Up on Your Business Ideas

Overcoming Resistance: How Not to Give Up on Your Business Ideas
Read time: Under 2 minutes
Are you holding yourself back? 
​

I’ve been listening to a new podcast, the Creative Self-Publishing Podcast from the Alliance of Independent Authors.

In a recent episode, Orna Ross talked about the signs of publishing resistance, and it got me thinking about resistance in business.

Have you ever wanted to start something new, but it just never happened? 
​

🚫 You told yourself you didn’t have the time.

🚫 Or you didn’t have the skills.

🚫 Or someone else had already done it better than you ever could.

These are all forms of resistance and block; things that can stop you from achieving your business goals. 

Orna explains, “What underlies resistance always is some form of fear. It can be a fear of failing, it can be a fear of success, or it can just be a fear of the creative process itself, which is what we often call fear of change.” 

So, how can we combat that fear, or as Orna suggests, how can we work with it and listen to what it’s trying to tell us?

How to Save Time with AI: What You CAN and CAN'T Do!

How to Save Time with AI: What You CAN and CAN'T Do!
Read time: Under 3 minutes
AI (artificial intelligence) has been in the news a LOT lately. 

From the story of a man who used AI to write a children's book in 72 hours (hint: it's not great) to a list of skills you apparently no longer need to know.

It can seem scary, especially for those of us who do a lot of things on that list of no longer needed skills 😬

So, as a small business owner, how do you wade through the sludge and find the truth of what AI can and can't help you to do faster?

Read on for my top tips on how to save time with AI 👇

Social Media News: Hootsuite Discontinues Free Plan

Hootsuite Discontinues Free Plan
Read time: Under 3 minutes
Have you logged into your Hootsuite account lately?

If you have, and you're on their free plan, you might have spotted this message 👇

Hootsuite Free is going away after March 31

😦

When Hootsuite launched back in 2008 as an entirely free social scheduling service they quickly went viral, but it's not really a surprise that they've decided to knock the free plan on it's head. 

They've steadily limited the free plan to the point where you can currently only manage 2 social accounts, and schedule up to 5 posts. 

Which isn't a lot when you think about it. 

So, if you're facing losing your free plan and trying to decide whether to upgrade or go elsewhere, here are 4 FREE Hootsuite alternatives for you to consider.

Celebrating 10 Years in Business!
We're celebrating! 🎉

February 2023 marks 10 years since I first launched Admin Angels UK back in 2013!

If you'd told me back then that we'd have made it through a global pandemic and three nationwide lockdowns I wouldn't have believed you...

...but here we are, and it's all thanks to our wonderful small business and author clients for sticking with us as we powered through the tough times together. 

We really wouldn't be here without you! 🙏

To highlight how far we've come in the last decade, we've put together a timeline of some of the things that have happened at Admin Angels UK since we launched in 2013 (keep scrolling to view). 

​​If you have under a minute to spare, you can also watch our 10 year celebration video here ​👇

The Power of Writing Shorter Blog Posts

The Power of Writing Shorter Blog Posts
Read time: Under 1 minute
Think you don’t have time to start a blog?

Think again.

It used to be that blog posts weren’t “valuable” unless they were really long and chock-full of keywords.

But what those super long blog posts forget is that people are busy.

We have short attention spans and given the fast-food nature of digital information; we like to get to the point as quickly as possible.

It’s why I lean towards writing shorter blog posts.

Short posts might not have a lot of words, but they still deliver value.

Should you reconsider sending that email?

Should you reconsider sending that email?
Read time: Under 2 minutes
Did you see this article circulating in The Financial Times last month?

It's interesting, isn't it?

That the emails and replies we send are polluting the environment.

All of those "thank-you's" and "will-do's" clogging up data centres. 

On the other hand, it sounds a bit like clap-trap, and I'm sure there are much more impactful ways to tackle climate change than emails of all things.

Let's face it, there are much bigger fish to fry (or not, as it were!)

But, saying that, it did make me think about when to reconsider sending an email.

So, before you hit send, ask yourself these questions:

It's a New Year...Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021!

Happy New Year!

Here we are, at the start of 2021, the last awful year is behind us and we're looking ahead to newer greener pastures.

Or we were, until, for those of us in the UK, we found ourselves flung into another national lockdown. 

Now, as we review the last 12 months and how well we achieved our goals and as we plan what we aim to achieve over the next year, everything feels a bit tainted by the pandemic. 

And that's okay. It's been a struggle. Whether you've found yourself working from home, struggling to educate the kids or just struggling to keep your business afloat and still going; we're all weathering the same storm. 

But let's take a moment to review the positives, the great things that happened in 2020 (yes, there were some!) and the things we can hope for in 2021.

Kayleigh is quite simply one of the most efficient VAs I have ever worked with. Whatever I ask for is delivered without fuss, with appropriate reminders, and often with a good suggestion proffed too. She has brought clarity and consistency to some complex newsletter and events tasks I had been struggling with. She works very effectively with others too. I have reason to be grateful to Kayleigh every week and so happy she is part of our team. ​
