#56: Building your Virtual Team : Rebecca Newenham
Welcome the Driven Female Entrepreneurs Podcast!
The weekly show that helps you dream bigger and achieve more in your business, by learning what works from successful female entrepreneurs.
In this episode
In this episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneurs Podcast, I speak with Rebecca Newenham, the Founder of Get Ahead VA - Your Virtual Agency.
Much as she loved her job as a retail buyer for large high-street stores, Rebecca took a career break when she started her family. However, when her youngest daughter started school, she was ready for her next challenge. Having grown up with an entrepreneurial Mum, Rebecca has seen that there was a flexible alternative to returning to corporate life, and decided to start out on her own.
After researching business opportunities, Rebecca saw that in the US virtual assistants were doing well. She saw that the option offered the flexibility she was looking for and decided to jump in. Knowing that she didn't want the business to be all about her, she started her business as an agency from the beginning and hasn't looked back since!
Listen to this episode to discover how Rebecca built her Virtual Assistant Agency, the challenges she's encountered along the way, and her best advice for women wanting to outsource tasks to support their business growth.
