ScaleUp Radio


Feb 10, 2023

Hello I’m Granger Forson

WWW.Bizsmart-Gloucesterhsire.co.uk or on LinkedIn.

This time on ScaleUp Radio I speak with Naomi Summers, the owner of Go Get Organized.

 

Go Get Organized is a VA one stop shop business  that are based in Bristol bath area. It started 10 years ago as Naomi wanted to use her co-ordination skills developed working in the BBC (listen out for this) but wanted to work for home. She has grown it into a strong 30 people network of experienced people aiding Go get organized customers.

 

It is so interesting hearing Naomi’s story especially about how she has kept the focus on values & people fit for Go Get Organized network and they work just together like any business of employed people. 

 

As always, we cover a lot of ground, including:

 

 - Using the right technology is key and taking the leap of faith some time is required to make it happen.

 - Using the team around you to bounce idea off, even when they are not direct employees work so well

 - networking is a keyway to grow your customer base, so experiment with different formats.

 

What is so fascinating about this conversation with Naomi is how she’s demonstrates that excellent leadership can bring people together to  generate value even when they not direct employees.  

 

I know that you’ll get a lot out of this episode.
