Simplifying Life & Business With Systems

This week, I am joined by Ellie - an absolute boss, a whizz at building systems, and someone that inspires me so much in the business world. As female entrepreneurs, it’s easy to get caught in the “I need to be doing x” and Ellie is someone I’ve found to be very open and a realist about how businesses should be built and run. From Ellie’s branding to messaging, she is a great example of “The World Is Your Oyster”.

A little more about Ellie:

I’m Ellie McBride, an American expat living in Northern Ireland since 2017. After moving across the world to be with my Northern Irish husband, I struggled to find the flexibility to spend much time back at my other home in Oregon to see my friends and family. In this quest for flexibility, I realized building an online business from the ground up is the way to have everything I’ve ever wanted in life.                 


I started out as a freelancer back in 2018. As a tech Virtual Assistant, I worked online with business owners in areas like social media planning, creating slick systems and automation, and perfecting their email marketing systems. However, I soon realized many of my clients struggled with the same: Having a beautiful and highly functional website to communicate with their community and open up their time for the tasks that truly needed their attention.


Now I use the skills and tools I learned from my days as a VA in my work as a Squarespace website designer to help create a solid backbone for your business with systems that connect to your website and grant you the freedom to let go of repetitive tasks and focus on the work you’re truly excited about.


My goal? To give you a beautiful home on the web for your message and your work all while helping make your work more efficient.


I serve women who own small businesses and are building them from the ground up by creating beautiful, functional websites with built-in time-saving systems. Sounds like you? Book a free 20-minute consultation call.
