Confessions of a Virtual Assistant: The Fun, the Fumbles, and the Fantastic
Hi there! Tory here, Founder and CEO of Abloom Assistant. I thought I’d pull back the curtain and share a few insights into what it’s really like behind the scenes at Abloom. As much as we love to keep things polished, real life is full of quirks, and let’s just say no two days here are the same!
The Unexpected Fumbles
Let’s be honest; even the best-laid plans hit bumps in the road. A classic moment is getting through a long to-do list only to realize a task had a last-minute update (cue the scramble!). Or, the occasional email that needed just a little more proofreading—these things keep us on our toes. Mistakes happen, but I believe it’s all about learning from them and making sure our clients feel taken care of, no matter what.
The Everyday Wins that Make It All Worthwhile
There’s nothing more satisfying than hearing back from a client who says, “Wow, I can finally breathe a bit!” The “small wins” are what we’re here for, whether it’s organizing someone’s inbox so they no longer dread opening it or creating a weekly content plan that actually fits into their schedule. Knowing we’ve given clients back precious hours in their day to focus on their big-picture goals is truly what keeps our team motivated.
The Real Joys of Being a Virtual Assistant
One thing I love about this work is getting to know each client’s unique style and needs. Some clients prefer communication to be short and sweet, while others love a quick catch-up to go over every detail, and both are equally valuable. Understanding what works best for each person means our team gets to be a true partner in their journey, which is why we’re always eager to fine-tune our approach.
Why These Real-Life Moments Matter
The work we do is all about making life a little easier for our clients, freeing them up to focus on their goals, whether personal or professional. Abloom Assistant is here to tackle those everyday tasks that might seem small but make a huge difference. It’s not glamorous work all the time, but the impact? Absolutely worth it.
So, if you’re someone with a full plate who could use a little help freeing up time and energy, Abloom is here to make life smoother in a way that’s real and reliable. We’re here to be the partner you can count on, day in and day out!
