Why being made redundant was the best thing that could have happened to me with Mira Ciccone, Founder of the The Life of a Virtual Assistant

March 23, 2022 • Sharon • Season 1 • Episode 2

A must-listen for anyone considering ‘throwing themselves in’ and going out on their own, or looking to master their socials, in episode two of From Hot Mess to Flamin’ Success MicroChilli’s CEO & Founder, Sharon Crombie chats with Mira Ciccone, Founder of The Life of a Virtual Assistant.

Mira has a very interesting and inspirational small biz story. Devastated after being made redundant due to COVID and disheartened by the lack of jobs out there, instead of waiting around for something to happen, Mira decided to take her fate into her own hands by launching her own business.

The Life of a Virtual Assistant specialises in providing social media marketing services, namely content creation, scheduling and community engagement, and also offers a mentoring service to help others make the switch to small business ownership, and thrive in their roles as Virtual Assistants.
