Hello, business owner!

If you are even just beginning to think about getting a little extra support for your business, you have come to the right place.

As a small business owner, you have built something special, but somewhere along the way, running your business may have started to feel harder than it should. Sound familiar?

Maybe you are struggling to keep up with the day-to-day work. Important projects keep being pushed back. Your marketing is inconsistent, your systems need attention, and too many decisions still depend on you.

Be honest, have you ever found yourself thinking:

  • I can never seem to get ahead.
  • There are important things I know need to happen, but I do not have the time or headspace to tackle them.
  • I'm tired of being the person every task, question and decision comes back to.
  • My business has grown, but the way I manage it has not grown with it.
  • I need someone who can see the bigger picture and help me work out what happens next.
  • I can't remember the last time I didn't work late.
  • I'm sick of missing date nights and my kid's football games because of my work.
  • My to-do list feels more like a never-ending hamster wheel!
  • When I started my business it was so that I could have more flexibility but somehow it's taken over my life, and my weekends!
  • I know there are things I should be doing for my business but I don't have the time, energy or know-how.

As a small-business owner myself, I know that you are probably extremely capable and that not all heroes wear capes. But you probably cannot do it all, and even if you can, trying to sustain that for too long will eventually lead you towards burnout.

It's time to take off the cape and, for the strength of both you and your business, begin outsourcing to someone you can trust. You need someone who can see the bigger picture, bring structure to your ideas, creatively problem-solve and take ownership of important projects, while helping you work through the challenges that are keeping your business stuck.

That’s where I step in.

Hi, I’m Yasmin Bruce, The Business Solutionist™.


I bring together expert-level event management, creative marketing, strategic  business management, detail-oriented project leadership and high-level executive virtual assistance to help business owners turn ideas and unfinished tasks into organized, completed work.

With more than 14 years of experience managing events, projects, communications and competing priorities, I bring structure and sparkle to the moving parts of your business. I’ll help you clarify what needs to happen, create a plan to get there and keep the work moving forward in the background. Whether the obstacle in front of you is running an event, strengthening your marketing, managing a major project,  improving the way your business operates or taking ownership of the work that has been sitting on your list for far too long. I’ll leave you with a low-lift, impactful and efficient system that works for you, with you.

I’m here to provide thoughtful, experienced support, sound judgement and dependable follow-through, giving you greater clarity, momentum and room to breathe.


Ready to love your business again?


You do not need to arrive with a perfectly organized task list.

Bring me the idea you cannot quite turn into a plan, the marketing that keeps being postponed, the project that has stalled or the business problem you have not had time to solve. I’ll work with you to figure out what needs to happen and how to move it forward.

Yasmin, I need help!

You've got goals. I've got the skills to get you there.

These are a few of the many hats I wear as

The Business Solutionist™ to help your business.

Event Manager

I'm there every step of the way for as little or as much support as you need. I can support from event conception stage through to running your project and delivering on the day or consulting and advising on how to run your event yourself. I will keep you on track to deliver your event, source the best vendors and make sure you don't go over your budget.

Business Manager

When you need a little more support than a Virtual Assistant's repertoire, my Business Management background allows me to lead on all aspects of operations and logistics management. Not just a 'doer' but a 'thinker', I strategically manage your projects, keep your business flowing and solve problems as they arise.

Executive Virtual Assistant

Sometimes you just need to get the job done. This is the service for you if you could practically swim in your inbox (and never reach the bottom), if your busy schedule needs handling by a pro, and/or you generally need administrative support. With my marketing expertise I can handle all aspects of your social media presence in line with your branding and goals. Let me take the load off and handle your to-do list so you don't have to.

Small Business Consultant

In my consulting, I bring tailored advice, knowledge and guidance to your small business and help you identify new opportunities, strategize for growth and arm you with the tools to get there. Together, we'll navigate challenges, capitalize on strengths, and chart your course towards sustained success.

Working with me: The Process

Discovery Call

You book your FREE 30-minute Zoom call at a time that suits you. This gives us a chance to make sure that this is the right fit and to get to know one another a little. This is your time, so please bring along any questions you may have! During or immediately after this call, I will advise on which support service is most suited to your needs.

Contracting

I send you a service package based on our conversation and your individual needs. If you are happy to proceed, you sign the contract and pay the first invoice and then your hours are reserved in my calendar, so you never have to worry about my capacity for your planned work.

Onboarding

It's time to get started! I'll ask you to share access to the tools and platforms your business uses, if required. We will prioritize the work areas, set up communication tools, by your preferred mode of communicating, and schedule regular check-ins.

Action

We establish our regular way working together, with plenty of space for adjusting the ways of working, and making sure that your deliverables are on schedule. You share feedback with me if you feel that anything needs tweaking and we continue along the path to shared success.

Ready to finally get the business help you need?

Whether you need an online business manager who you can rely on, an event expert to wow your attendees (and let's face it, your stakeholders!) or a virtual assistant to handle the things you don't have time for,

I'm The Business Solutionist™ and I'm here to help.
