Meet Toiah Gordon

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Toiah Gordon. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Toiah below.

Toiah, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?

My resilience comes from a combination of personal and professional experiences. Overcoming personal challenges has taught me to stay adaptable and persistent. In my previous roles, managing high-stakes projects under pressure strengthened my problem-solving skills and ability to remain calm. My support system, including my family, friends, and mentors, have been instrumental in providing encouragement and guidance. Ultimately, my commitment to continuous learning and my passion for entrepreneurship drive me to push through obstacles and keep striving for success.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I have over 20 years of experience as an Executive Assistant, and I understand the value of having a reliable assistant for business owners, executives, and individuals who require support. Mary Pops In offers virtual administrative services at a much lower cost compared to traditional agencies. What makes my service unique is that, similar to the beloved Mary Poppins, I am available for as long as you need me, without any fixed time commitments. I cater to those who may not require a full-time assistant but still need occasional or part-time help with various projects. I’m here to sprinkle my magic and assist you whenever you need me, and then I’ll be off until you require my help again!

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

The three most important words in my journey are Creativity, Integrity, and Connection. Creativity is at the core of everything I do, allowing me to bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to any challenge. This creative spark truly defines my career, driving me to constantly seek out new tools and methods to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.

Integrity is a guiding principle in all my interactions with clients and colleagues. I prioritize delivering work of the highest quality within agreed timelines, aiming to establish and maintain unwavering trust in my professional relationships. This commitment to integrity ensures that I consistently meet and exceed expectations, fostering trust and confidence.

The value of Connection cannot be overstated. I recognize the immense impact of building genuine and meaningful relationships in business. By fostering warm and professional connections, I strive to create an environment where growth knows no bounds. I firmly believe that authentic relationships are the foundation of sustainable growth and success.

All the wisdom you’ve shared today is sincerely appreciated. Before we go, can you tell us about the main challenge you are currently facing?

At the moment, my biggest hurdle lies in expanding my client base. Navigating the challenging job market, I understand that many individuals are solely focused on sustaining their businesses. Therefore, I devote considerable time to networking and disseminating information about the services I offer, in the hopes of capturing the attention of someone who recognizes the value of a virtual assistant. To attract potential clients, I provide a range of enticing incentives, including competitive hourly rates and even complimentary work hours based on their scheduled time with me. I am flexible and accommodating, willing to tailor my services to different budgetary needs, and always eager to establish mutually beneficial deals!
