How an Ethical Virtual Assistant can help your Sustainable Business
“Time is free, but it is priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you have lost it you can never get it back.” Harvey Mackay.
A Virtual Assistant can help you and your business by taking some of the tasks you (or your team) don’t have time for, off your hands! By outsourcing to an ethical VA, we will help you to create extra time. Time to work on growing and scaling your ethical business or time to work towards your sustainability goals, to make a bigger impact with your business. Or time to spend with your friends and family or go on a well-deserved holiday, or do whatever you choose.

I would not have been able to launch my new business website without Planner Bee VA Services, not only building and copywriting the site, but supporting the process in all areas too. Planner Bee is a rock to my business and I couldn’t manage my workload without them”
