I’m Viktoria – Passionate About Networking & Business Growth
A few nuggets about me:
Supporting Local Businesses: My Story
In 2016, I started a Facebook group to support local independent businesses by sharing reviews and photos. While it began as a great idea, it became unsustainable due to limited personal resources and a niche market. I couldn’t provide endless reviews on haircuts, facials, massages, and restaurants on my own limited budget. Additionally, not everyone needs a solicitor or estate agent every day.
Nelson Mandela once said, “I never lose. I either win, or I learn”.
But I didn’t lose hope. I knew that there were more creative ways to grow the group and support the businesses that make our communities thrive.
I was constantly networking in an effort to grow my business, but despite making numerous connections, I wasn’t seeing any progress.
With 30 years of administrative experience, I decided to become a Virtual Assistant and support local industries from the inside out, rather than the other way round.
All of a sudden, other businesses began to notice me as a serious businessperson, rather than just a hobbyist. This was crucial for my success. I could continue to support local businesses by doing what I do and I was getting paid for it as well! This was a game-changer – and all because I decided to take a risk!
Networking and business growth are my two biggest passions
I understand the challenges of starting a business alone, and attribute my success to my commitment to networking and continually improving my skills. I’m passionate about working with businesses and helping them thrive, and networking is intrinsically in my blood—I love meeting new people and building relationships.
I love connecting with businesses and helping them move forward
Whether it’s developing new partnerships or strengthening existing relationships, I thrive on making these connections. I’m confident in my ability to identify opportunities for growth and take pride in helping businesses succeed.
My passion for networking and business growth drives me to seek out new challenges and take on new projects. I believe that building strong partnerships can open doors to endless possibilities.

It didn’t stop at just becoming a Virtual Assistant. In fact, that was just the beginning. With my love for networking, I decided to remodel my Facebook group by improving my focus and offering something everyone could benefit from. I believe that this model is the ultimate in networking, embracing all the best bits of the networking process and then giving you a bit more value to your membership.
