The Passionate PA

After sharing our news that the franchise will be closing at the end of the month, lots of people are asking what we are all going to do next... Well, you can find out on each of our profiles - links below - or keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks when we will be talking about the wonderful things each Passionate PA will be up to in their next chapter 🎉 Thank you so much for all your support and the incredible message. 🌟 Debbie Frith 🌟 Claire Bartlett 🌟 Jenni Bowman 🌟 Louise Cummins 🌟 Steph Taylor 🌟 Kara Birrell

After 16 wonderful years in business, nearly 10 of those as a vibrant franchise, The Passionate PA (UK) Ltd is closing on 30th September 2024. There are many reasons for this decision and there is a video on our website that explains more. The important point is that it has been made with the best interests of our team at heart. Individually, each Passionate PA will continue to run their own business under a new trading name. That means our clients will continue to receive the wonderful service they have come to rely on and each person in our team will continue as a self-employed business owner having benefited from years of training and support from the franchise. Please keep an eye on our socials over the next few weeks for more details of what we’ll all be up to in the next chapter of our careers. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support of The Passionate PA – whether you are a life-long supporter or pretty new to our world, you are appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏻 https://lnkd.in/dv_nrCyz

“If only I had more time, I’d be able to do everything myself”. If you’ve said this sentence recently, chances are you are NOT ready to #outsource. Let us explain; the real value with outsourcing comes from enlisting the help of people who can do things better than you – it’s a mindset shift. Only when you really grasp this will outsourcing be a decision you thank yourself for. Sure, there are many tasks you can delegate that, on the surface, seem likely to save you time but, we encourage all business owners, and especially Passionate PA clients, to think beyond simply time saving and onto where the real value will come. Take a look at our #blog to discover the triggers for when the time is right to begin outsourcing. https://lnkd.in/emjMGcEB

We live in such a fast-paced world and it has become very easy to define our success by how busy we are – it has almost become a status symbol. As business owners, being busy means that there is a lot going on. Work, and importantly money, is coming in which will keep everything moving forward. Or will it? In this blog, Steph provides her top tips for getting productive rather than busy! https://lnkd.in/e3YNd9xb #Productivity #Busyness #Blog

Are you thinking about partnering with a #freelancer, but not sure how to determine who will suit your business needs best? Here are the top 7 questions great clients ask: 1. Tell me about your background, skills and experience as a freelancer? 2. How could you add tangible value to my business? 3. What does a successful working relationship look like to you? 4.
