Rosie Davies-Smith of PR Dispatch explains what she's learned from two maternity leaves while running a business

While these unusual circumstances threw me a curveball, switching off for maternity leave when you work for yourself can be a challenge anyway, pandemic or not. Having a VA to do bookkeeping, HR and liaise with accountants can save hours of time and removes you as the business owner from these business operation tasks. Our VA has also helped me with personal admin including items for the baby. I have a VA for 8 hours per month and it costs around £200 - money well spent.Obviously, this is revenue dependent, but the best investment you can make in your business, especially if you are a new mama, is in your team.

My first maternity leave was incredibly tough because we were in lockdown, so I found myself back at my laptop whilst feeding my daughter.
