I am so so excited to have made it as a finalist for a Women’s Business Award! 🏆

Couldn't be prouder to have been nominated for the :

💫Business Mum of the Year award 💫

🤯 I went from redundant to furloughed first time mum taking the plunge all within a year, and started my business deep in lockdown; running around after an 18 month old and pregnant with my second.

💪I truly started Upsource because I was exhausted by how hard being employed, trying to have a career and raising a child felt.

💃Upsource launched once my eldest went back to nursery post lockdown in July 2020

🥂 I handed over to 5 VAs, we are now over 25 VAs (over 50% of us are Mums 🤩)

This business has seen me through pregnancy, Mat leave, COVID and NICU (head to the blog to read more about our journey)

👇Now I need you to VOTE FOR ME at the link below! 👇

I had half term all planned out...It was our first one for our 4 year old who has just started school.

✅ Some days at camp
✅ Planned days off for me and my husband to spend time with him
✅ Last but not least my wonderful VA had blocked the time out so I only focused on priorities the past two weeks
...then during the week of camp my almost 2 year old got croup, involving a trip to A&E and was at home for the last 3 days of half term I had planned to work.

Thats life! but also that is why number 3 was key. I worked the evenings on the priorities I'd planned and didn't feel behind come the weekend.

Struggle with holidays? We wrote a blog recently on how to take holidays as a small business owner (link in the comments)
