In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm SO excited to bring you a special conversation I had with my friends Anna and Tom Rogers! This chat was pure fire. We brought together three minds passionate about disrupting our industries and thinking bigger. Tom is the head of Hey Clients, a software shaking up the coaching market, so it was incredible to sit down and talk about what it truly means to be an innovator.

As you know, I believe the virtual assistant industry is about so much more than just trading time for money. It's a pathway to freedom, and for those who are ready, it's a launchpad for building a true empire.

Here’s what I dive into with Anna and Tom:

My journey from starting as a virtual assistant to building a 7-figure business, an agency, and now, tech!

How I identified major gaps in the VA industry and why I decided to be the one to fill them (hello, "Tinder for VAs" and the industry's first live conference!).

The real challenges and mindset required to build a tech platform when you're not a "techy" person.

Why now is the perfect time for coaches, VAs, and course creators to innovate beyond their traditional offers.

The power of having the audacity to just "go for it," even when you don't have all the answers.

How I (and they) balance running multiple successful businesses without burnout (hint: it's about team, energetics, and a CEO mindset).

Why seeing business as a "playground" and enjoying the game is key to long-term success.

If you're a virtual assistant who knows you're meant for more, or an entrepreneur with big ideas, this conversation will give you the permission and inspiration to think bigger, find the gaps in your own market, and go build something truly disruptive!
