As the owner of Virtually Yours, Rosie has inspired and mentored hundreds of VAs to run their own successful businesses. As a true advocate for the industry, Rosie not only guides VAs to deliver exceptional client services, but also works with business owners to show how they can benefit from using a VA. Affectionately known as ‘The Awesome Mother Duck’, Rosie has fast become the go-to chick in the virtual assistant industry.
Rosie has mentored many new and experienced VAs in their business, and seen them overcome many hurdles to achieve amazing goals. This inspired her to write “VA VA Voom: How to become an amazing VA and every client’s most Valued Asset” which was published in May 2014 and has sold hundreds of copies to date. Since then she has also published ‘Reaching for the Stars: a woman’s guide to becoming a Stellar Virtual Assistant‘ and is currently finalising a book for business owners called ‘The Outsourcing Secret: A stress-free guide to growing your business’.
She has also launched her own VA podcast ‘Outsourcing Mysteries Exposed ‘ – check that out here!
On a personal note, Rosie is a dedicated mother to 2 little girls, Ruby (8) and Ella (4). Ruby certainly keeps Rosie on her toes with her adventurous mind and entertaining ways while Ella is learning all these tricks from her big sister. Rosie is thankful that she is able to run her businesses from home in order to be there for her family. She also has 1 gorgeous ‘fur baby’ Abbie, who like to share her office chair or lay at her feet as she works and 3 lovely cheeky rescue chickens, Thor, Loki and Scarlet.
