DON'T HIRE THAT EMPLOYEE. Before reading this first.

Episode 1

Let’s Rewind...

Do you remember why you opened your flower shop?

You wanted to spend your days surrounded by beauty. You wanted to create. You wanted your customers to feel something the moment they walked through the door.

You wanted joy. Passion. To love what you do for work.

And instead? You’re fielding emails, auditing invoices, sending quote after quote, rescheduling staff, and googling why your printer won’t connect.

You've just spent your entire morning doing everything except making money.

This isn’t the dream. Let’s flip it.

Hire Smart! Not Bigger, Just Better

You might be thinking...“I need to hire someone for [the holiday's]”

But do you?

Maybe you do. But let’s be honest…

💵 Employees Are Expensive

Wages. Taxes. Training. Scheduling. Sick days. Mood swings. Existential crises in the cooler.

You're paying them busy or not.

Employees are a commitment. And unless your shop is humming nonstop, you’re left silently panicking over your to-do list and how you’ll afford payroll.

🛑 To Hire Employees When You’re Not Ready Hurts Everyone

If you can’t keep staff consistently busy, you’ll end up sending them home early or they'll be standing around twiddling their fingers. It’s not fair to them and it makes you feel like the bad guy or worse, like a micromanager.

So…Do you really need another employee?

It’s not about having help. It’s about having the right kind of help.

Here’s the Sexy Truth:

You could outsource nearly half of your daily grind to someone who:

• Doesn’t need a desk

• Doesn’t need a lunch break

• Definitely won’t eat the last muffin in the staff fridge

Why a Virtual Assistant Makes More (Dollar) Sense

You need support that fits the rhythm of your business and not the 9–5 clock-in, clock-out dance.

A Virtual Assistant lets you:

✅ Be the face of your business

✅ Focus on floristry and customer connection

✅ Actually enjoy your day again

Here’s What We Can Handle (So You Don’t Have To):

📧 Emails & customer inquiries

🧾 Invoices & quotes

📦 Supplier coordination

📝 Schedule building

🎉 Event planning logistics

📅 Calendar management

💬 Social media outsourcing

🌪️ General flower shop chaos control

& so much more

You stay in your zone of genius by designing dream weddings, connecting with customers, and doing what you actually love.

We’ll be in the background, making it all run smoothly like you’ve got a full team on site (without the HR headaches).

But... What If You Do Need to Hire Employees?

Cool. Hire one.

But also protect your time.

Let them run the floor. Let us run the files.

Pairing in-person help with virtual backup is like giving your business a double espresso shot without the caffeine crash.

TL;DR?

You didn’t open a flower shop to become its secretary. You opened it to do what you love.

👎 Hiring an employee = Commitment, cost, and risk

👍 Hiring a Virtual Assistant = Flexibility, efficiency, and finally getting your time (and sanity) back.

You focus on sales, service, and customer magic. We’ll be in the digital shadows making you look like you’ve got it all together.
