Starting Eto & Flow was not a decision I made lightly. It was born out of necessity, passion, and a desire to balance my professional aspirations with my personal life. So I thought I would share my journey of how and why I ventured into the world of virtual assistance and built Eto & Flow…
The Spark of Inspiration
The inspiration to start my own virtual assistant business came from my own experiences juggling a demanding job and personal commitments. I found myself constantly torn between giving my best at work and being present for my family. The early mornings, the late nights, and the stress of managing it all made me realise that there had to be a better way.
I saw a gap in the market for reliable, efficient and professional virtual assistance. Many small business owners like myself were struggling to keep up with the administrative demands of their businesses. The idea of creating a service that could help others regain control of their time and reduce stress resonated deeply with me.
Building the Foundation
Starting Eto & Flow was both exciting and challenging. Here are the key steps I took to bring my vision to life:
- Research and Planning
I began by researching the virtual assistant industry, identifying potential clients, and understanding their needs. This helped me create a business plan that outlined my services, pricing, and target market. - Skill Development
To ensure I could offer top-notch services, I invested time in enhancing my administrative skills. I took courses on project management, digital tools, and customer service to stay ahead of the curve. - Setting Up the Business
I registered Eto & Flow, created a website, and set up social media profiles to establish an online presence. I also designed a logo and brand materials to make my business stand out. - Networking and Marketing
I reached out to my professional network and attended industry events to spread the word about Eto & Flow. I also invested in online marketing strategies like SEO and content marketing to attract potential clients.
