I couldn't even pop out to get a magazine when I was a new Mum!

Whereas Caroline started her business with an 18 month old baby, and pregnant with her second.

I'm joined in this episode by Caroline Marshall, the founder of Upsource, a multi award-winning Virtual Assistant agency and a growing community of fractional, high-calibre Business, Executive, and Virtual Assistants.

Find out how she went from start up to fully booked in 3 months. To now having a team of 36 (not a typo) associates.

How did / does she do it?

Caroline generously shares her secrets in this episode.

----

Caroline began her career in Personal Assistance, Business Support, and Events. She entered the Assistant industry in 2010 and moved to Virtual Assistance in 2016, first as an employed VA, before launching her own agency in 2020. Her hands-on experience and deep understanding of the assistant role have shaped Upsource into what it is today.

Her personal journey through motherhood, redundancy, the pandemic, and entrepreneurship inspired her to launch the ‘Bump to Business Owner’ podcast, where Caroline shares the real stories of founders who are also mothers, exploring how they navigate business and life.
