After a week's holiday, MAF is back and my guest is Maggie Johnson.

We chat about virtual assistance, event management and marketing services and how this might benefit your business.

Welcome to episode 119 of the Marketing and Finance Podcast.

We chat about:

• Take away the "busy" from the "productive"
• Freeing yourself up to focus on the important business development and strategy stuff
• Running slick events from conferences to awards dinners
• Changing from a "support" company to a "services" company and embracing content marketing
