On leaving my corporate career in May 2017, I knew if I was going to function at the investor level rather than being a landlord, I needed to have others in my business dealing with the day to day operational tasks. So I systemised my business and took on my first Virtual Assistant working from the Philippines. I was also on a 12-month property mastermind programme, and other delegates were telling me they had tried working with a VA but not had the same degree of success. After chatting to them, I could see common mistakes people were making and started to help them overcome these issues. I started speaking at various networking events on how to scale up using a Virtual Assistant. Immediately people started asking me to recruit for them their own VA and show them how to systemise….  VaVaVoom was born.
