Before I started working with Sonaya I was scrambling to do all the things, all the time--dealing with platforms, apps, and processes I knew I shouldn't be spending my time on--but couldn't find anyone to takeover for me. I knew I needed more than a virtual assistant--I needed someone who already knew how to do all the things. Someone who would take ownership of that work without needing direction on each and every task. And someone who could help me think through next steps given where my business is. Enter Sonaya and her team.
Working with her has made it possible for me to hand over the technical set up, coordination, management, and communication around our programs and events with complete confidence. So I can concentrate on the parts of the work I love (as well as the parts I don't love, but need to be doing anyway). Because of support from Sonaya and her team, I was able to quickly shift our in-person writing retreats to an online format when the virus made travel and gathering impossible. That meant I was able to keep some already earned revenue instead of canceling all of my events and issuing refunds.
Even better, I was able to design and run a new, complex Pay What You Can event that brought new revenue during the pandemic and supported hundreds of my clients--all because I could count on Sonaya and her team to handle the backend of the event. In short, she made it possible for me to do the work I feel called to do, exactly when I was feeling particularly vulnerable and uncertain about my business.
If you want reliable, knowledgeable, professional support from someone who will let you do what you most want to do, then you should hire her. Now.
